The Danish anti-fascist resistance movement was an anti-fascist resistance movement initiated by the Danish people during the Second World War and an integral and integral part of the European anti-fascist resistance movement.Discussing the background,evolution,the relationship between the resistance and the allies,the characteristics and influence of the resistance movement in Denmark can better understand the role of Denmark in the European anti-fascist war.The first chapter discusses the German invasion of Denmark and the early resistance activities in Denmark.In the 1920s,Europe was in a peaceful situation.Denmark carried out disarmament work internally and maintained peaceful relations with major powers externally.In the 1930s,the situation in Europe became increasingly tense,and fascism prevailed.Denmark,shrouded in the shadow of fascism,continued its disarmament work internally.On the one hand,it sought cooperation with Scandinavian countries on the one hand,and moved to Germany on the other.Policy.In April 1940,Germany invaded Denmark and began its occupation for five years.After the German invasion,there was a wave of nationalism in Denmark.Under the influence of this wave,the Danish people organized a variety of passive resistance activities.Over time,a number of passive resistance groups have emerged in Denmark,such as the Danish Youth Federation and the Danish Cross-Country Sports Federation.By printing underground publications,the Danish Communist Party established groups at all levels in the provinces to actively prepare for resistance activities.In addition,Denmark carried out a non-violent resistance movement,including the contribution of the Danish shipping industry to the Allies,the contribution of the Danish intelligence services to the Allies,the resistance of the Danish press to Germany,and the Danish people's voluntary rescue of Danish Jews.The second chapter discusses the development of the Danish anti-fascist resistance movement.In terms of sabotage activities,Danish domestic resistance organizations such as the Churchill Club,Communist guerrillas,Liberal guerrillas and Danish Holger have made outstanding contributions to the Danish anti-fascist resistance movement.In addition,the British Special Operations Service provided supplies and personnel to the Danish resistance organization.In terms of strike movements,the process and impact of representative strike movements were analyzed,such as the Odense strike,the Aalborg strike,and the Copenhagen strike.The third chapter discusses the victory of the Danish anti-fascist resistance movement,and summarizes the characteristics and influence of the Danish anti-fascist resistance movement.In the late period of the resistance movement,military resistance developed.Various domestic factions successively established resistance forces and later joined the Allied forces to participate in the fight against the German fascist war and won the resistance movement.The Danish anti-fascist resistance movement has the characteristics of slow development,small scale and dependence on allies.These characteristics also directly affect the impact of the Danish anti-fascist resistance movement on the country and the European anti-fascist resistance movement.
