		Although the Danish territory of South Jutland was home to a significant German minority, and the province had been regained from Germany after a plebicite as part of the hated Versailles Treaty, there was no apparent urgency to reclaim it.
		The Danish government was able to renegotiate the arbitrary exchange rate between the Mark and Krone to deal with this problem.
		The government had attempted to discourage sabotage and violent resistance to the occupation, but by the autumn of 1942 the numbers of violent acts of resistance were increasing steadily to the point that Germany declared Denmark "enemy territory" for the first time.

		The official Danish policy at the beginning of the occupation was cooperation with the Fascist Germans.
		One of the major accomplishments of the Danish resistance movement was the illegal press; even the German émigrés had their own news agency and communicated their documents to members of the German army.
		Thus the resistance work was partly non violent civil disobedience during war and partly violent, or as the Danish historians debate active and passive resistance.

	Besættelseshistorien
		Thus, the current debate surrounding the nature of the Danish resistance and the significance of the politics conducted by the Danish government during the first 3 years of occupation, has aroused a great deal of discrepancy, between leading historians and former members of the Resistance, and shows what delicate questions these are.
		The sporadic accounts of the active and organised resistance, however, has a somewhat critical approach to it, especially with regard to the anarchistic and violent elements of the active resistance.
		Our interpretation also suggests, however, that the works must be seen as two fundamentally different exponents, acting from different backgrounds and with different goals, which is why it makes more sense to use the plural and talk of different "consensus-histories", in order to keep their differences in mind.

	Anti-Semitism after the Holocaust - Also in Denmark - Arthur Arnheim
		The sources of Danish anti-Semitism are to be found in three different political environments: Left-wing based bias against Israel and Jews; incitement by Moslem immigrants (especially from Lebanon and Palestine); and Christian anti-Semitism disguised as compassion for the sufferings of ordinary Palestinians.
		The status of the Danish Christian Church is defined in the constitution.

	Reason magazine -- January 1995. Ted Galen Carpenter.
		One is the notion that such movements are spontaneous mass uprisings by populations that have been pushed beyond endurance--the implication being that it is futile to outline organizational or strategic principles for waging a resistance campaign because such uprising cannot be anticipated, much less channeled.
		The case studies examined show, however, that while there were spontaneous aspects to the resistance movements, there were also important elements of planning and coordination that varied in effectiveness and sophistication.
		Indeed, a common characteristic of the unsuccessful nonviolent movements highlighted in the historical case studies is the tendency to persist with one set of tactics rather than adjust to changing conditions to exploit the oppressor's weaknesses or to compensate for emerging vulnerabilities in the resistance movement.

	Three Cheers for the Danes?
		By October 1943, with the potential action against the Jews as a major impetus, the resistance movement (quite ordinary men and women rather than "politicians") was firmly entrenched.
		K.K. Steincke, the Danish Social Democratic Minister of Justice, argued that the German anti-Jewish laws were legitimate and so, the Jews were not entitled to asylum in Denmark.
		Bludnikow does not spare the Danish delegates who in 1944 went there to inspect the condition of the Danish Jews, "had no interest whatsoever in non-Danish Jews", were fooled by the show the Germans put on for them, and, once back in Denmark, wrote reports praising the conditions in Theresienstadt camp.

	Islam’s resistance movement, by Georges Corm
		The victory of the Lebanese Hizbullah resistance over the Israeli army, which withdrew from southern Lebanon in May 2000 after 22 years of occupation, and with no gains, confirmed the view held by Hamas and by much of Palestinian and Arab public opinion that armed struggle was the only effective means to end Israeli occupation.
		Jihadist movements - which were born and encouraged during the cold war, when they were sent as cannon fodder against the Soviet army in Afghanistan, the Balkans and the Caucasus - never dreamed of being given such publicity by the president of the greatest world power, and by the UN.
		Islamic movements skilfully use religious language to focus nationalist demands in Iran and the Arab world, demands that have been long abandoned by most secular intellectuals after the rout of Nasserism and the powerlessness of such Arab nationalist movements as the Ba’ath.

	Denmark and World War II: Truth and Apologies
		Over the last few decades Denmark has become noted for its Danish Resistance Movement and in particular the night of October 1, 1943 when resistance fighters smuggled 7,200 Jews and 700 non-Jewish relatives to neutral Sweden so they would not be taken by the Nazis and murdered in German concentration camps.
		All Jews were given Danish citizenship in 1814 and the last legislative restriction against their entrance, travel and citizenship in Denmark was abolished in 1849 by the Danish Constitution.
		This solidified the Danish Resistance Movement in which the Danes defied the order and smuggled over 7,000 Danish Jews in boats across the Øresund to neutral Sweden.

		During 1976-77, Danish historian Jorgen Haestrup published a three-volume study, which became the standard work on the subject from the Danish perspective, though it was recognized that it lacked the story of the British side.
		The need for a more complete version of the story of the Danish resistance, writes Jespersen, was in part to show the nation and the world that after "the shameful capitulation of 9 April 1940," the Danes were active in the opposition to the Nazis.
		In several areas, Jespersen notes necessary adjustments in Danish histories--as, for example, the so-called "Princes Plan." The P-Plan, as it was called, which was developed by Danish general staff officers as a way to resist occupation, figures importantly in the narrative.
