摘要:Based on recent Danish research, this article will provide an overview of the Danish economic situation during the occupation by Germany as well as the political reaction motivated by the question of conformity and collaboration. The unique position that Denmark held among the countries occupied by Germany led to a confrontation – especially in economic arenas – with the German plans for a “New Order” of Europe. For the first time, the political-economic aspects of the occupation have become the centre of attention within the newest Danish literature. Based on these results, both the continuity with the pre-war period and the forms of economic collaboration during the war can be discerned.
