Chapter 14 Den Røde bølge
Chapter 14
Den Røde bølge.
Den Røde bølge.
The Soviet Union, a nation that have been neutral in the conflict, with cordinal relations with Germany, have declared war on Turkey in order to secure the entrance to the Black sea. Stalin thought that no one would defend Turkey, but he was wrong. Both the Allies and the Axis joined their call to arms. The war in Europe now have 3 sides. The Soviet Union have a large army and industry, it have been reformed after the purges, it is large, organised and professional.
The 29th of December 1942: The Soviet Union Declared war on turkey. A nation guarantied by both Germany and the United Kingdom.
The Soviet Union, the only Neutral great power have joined the global war
The 30th of December 1942: Denmark and the Soviet Union signs a non aggression pact. The Danish state do not wish to fight the Soviet Union too, Denmark declines declaring war on the Soviet Union by its allies, as they fear the Soviet Army and need Soviet Oil to fuel their own war machine.
The molotov-Ribbentrop have been broken by the Soviet Union, now Germany have to fight on gigantic front.
The 31st of December 1942: Turkey Joins the Axis. Turkey joins the Axis war effort the next day.
The war in Europe have become bigger. The Eastern front will become know as the most bloddy and brutal front of the whole war.
The 2nd of January 1943: British Forces have landed in Rome unopposed, if the Axis do not respond in time, Italy might capitulate.
With the Fall of Rome, the Axis are forced to divert forces from the Eastern front.
The 24th of March 1943: Allied forces have landed in France and have established a significant beachhead near Calis
The Americans failed to establish a Beachhead in Normandy, but it succeeded at Calis.
The 27th of March 1943: American Forces have landed in Friesland.
With more and more Allied forces landing on the Coast of Europe, the Axis are forced to divert more and more forces from the Eastern front.
The 2nd of April 1943: Denmark launches its 3rd Attempt of Liberating Oslo, With Germany fighting the Soviet Union in the East and the Allies in the West, Danish High commands hopes the Germans will be too distracted to counterattack. Denmark is Sending 5 Divisions this time.
The 5th of April 1943: Danish forces have landed unopposed in Oslo, the high commands assumptions where correct and are not advancing in order to seize the Initiative. Before the Germans can organise a counterattack.
The 3rd attempt of Liberating Oslo was the one that succeeded, the Germans where caught off guard for some Reason.
The 17th of April 1943: Danish forces have secured Southern Norway. The Danish forces are still isolated, but German convoys are now forced to transport German supplies through Norwegian coast, where Danish Submarines are ready to face them. The Danish war plan is now to link up with its Allies in the west and capture the City of Trondheim.
The Danish army have trained a lot of more Men in order to liberate Norway, the Germans where surprised the Small nation of Denmark where capable of doing such thing.
The 21st of April 1943: Danish forces attack the German forces along the Southern Norwegian Coast, the goal is to take the province, so the Danish front can be reinforced by the allies
The Battle of the Norwegian coast was a crucial Battle in the Norwegian campaign, historians calls it one of the most Critical battles in Norway.
The 26th of April 1943: The Assault was a succes, but at the cost of heavy Danish casualties, as the "allies" did not assist with the attack from the west, leaving the Danish army even more bitter to thier allies. This bitternes is part of the reason Denmark refuses to declare war on the Soviets.
The Battle of the Norwegian Coast was a battle where Denmark lost a lot of Soldiers, due to the fact their allies refused to attack the German position to the West.
The 9th of May 1943: Trondheim have ben liberated by the Danish forces, the Civilian population greeted the Danish soldiers as liberators, only the City of Bergen is the Last German Holdout in Southern Norway.
When the Danish forces entered Trondheim, the Norwegians greeted them as liberators, many Norwegians where surprised that it was the Danish army alone that freed the City.
The 17th of May 1943: A Danish divisions leaves the harbour of Trondheim, its destination is the German controlled city of Bergen. If the invasion is a succes, the Germans will starve in Norway.
The 23rd of May 1943: Danish forces have captured Bergen with no opposition, the Remaining German Forces in south-western Norway are now trapped.
The Danish have showed how effective they are in Battle, many military observers did not think much of the Danish army, after 2 failed attempts of taking Oslo.
The 25th of May 1943: With the Danish army busy in Norway, the Vichy French army have landed in Denmark, The Danish army defending Denmark responded quickly and the French, was quickly beaten back. They where the first in from the outside world that saw what Denmark have transformed into; An army with a people. Every farmer, every citizen was armed. The French where harassed by Danish partisans in Sjælland. Then the Danish army made a counterattack before the Axis could get a foothold in Denmark.
The fortress isles firt test. The French did not stand a chance against a well trained Danish army.
The 30th of May 1943: The Axis have made a counter invasion of Norway, pushing in from the South, the Danish army is reorganising in order to protect the Ports in Norway form invasions, it is unknown if this effort comes too late. But thankfully the Allies where in the south of Norway.
Just when the Allies thought they have liberated Norway, the Axis strikes back.
The 24th of June 1943: Oslo was saved thanks to the Allies, but the City of Kristiansand was captured by the Axis, given the Axis a beachhead in Southern Norway. The Danish Army moved to southern Norway in order to defend the ports and prevent the Axis from pushing in. Both the Axis and the Danish army suffered from missing supplies due to convoy raiding.
The German have a significant force, but Danish convoy reaiding prevents them from getting the needed supplies.
The 3rd of July 1943: Denmark have been invaded by the second time, southern Fyn have been captured, but with no access to ports, the invaders are stuck.
The Axis second attemp was also a diaster for the Axis.
The 23rd of August: 1943: Stavanger have been captured by Danish forces, the Germans where undersupplied due to Danish convoy raiding. Which made the German army in southern Norway an easy target for a Danish offensive. The Axis still controls Northern Norway, but the majority of Norways population is now free from the Axis.
The Final battle for Southern Norway showed how effective and Deadly the Danish army really are.
The Political map of Europe 6th of Sebtember 1943. The Allies have almost taken most of Italy, parts of the Netherlands, Belgium, northen and southern France are now under allied control. The Soviet Union have pushed deep into Romania, Poland and have taken all of Prussia.

By the way, of the Allied faction. Denmark have inflicted the most casualties, due to the fight in Norway and convoy raiding.
For every fallen Dane, 10 Germans died or got captured.
The only Nations that have inflicted more Cassualties to the Germans are the Soviet Union at 2,9 million Germans.
Now the Turkey have also founded their own faction and left the Axis.
Now I will use Console commands to make a WP between the Allies and the Soviets, as the war was to defend Turkey, but Turkey is now at was with the Allies, which remove the main reason for hostilities between the Soviets and the Allies.

Indeed, I am just trying to make a WP between the Allies and the Soviets, as it makes no sense they would fight eachoter. But the I struggle to get it to work
It took a while, but finally it seems that the situation is more or less improving.
It looks like Italy has taken the Suez Canal, but at the cost of the Allies conquering all of southern and central Italy. That seems a very bad trade, but also absolutely the kind of thing a Paradox AI would do.
That is true, the world is wery crazy. Prehaps I should make a short chapter to show the state of the wars in the world.
This Time I liberated Norway (at least the southern part), Denmark Number one.
By the way I could not figure out how to white peace between the Soviets and the Allies. So I will go with total war AXIS vs allies vs Soviet. Let us see how that turns out.
Chapter 15 Just a status update
Chapter 15
State of the war
Just a quick status of the war and how it is going. For those that are interested. It is not the focus on my aar, so I will not go into great detail.
State of the war
Just a quick status of the war and how it is going. For those that are interested. It is not the focus on my aar, so I will not go into great detail.
This is how the world look the 6th of September 1943.
Women in factories = YES
Civilian factories= 5
Dockyards = 5
Military factories = 8
Men lost to war = 43K
Army
The Danish army still stand strong, small but well trained.
Navy
The Danish navy was sunked, but the Danish have builded submarines in order to harass German supplies.
Airforce
The Danish air force is really small, but is still a competent force, as long as they are not contested by superior numbers.
European Theatre
The Axis are losing a lot of ground in Europe, Southern Norway have been liberated in the North, in the west, the Allies have landed in Benelux and the French Northern coast, in the South The Allied have landed in Vichy France and Italy is at the brink of capitulation (82% toward capitulation).
In the East, a giant army of Soviet soldiers are making gains in Eastern Europe, they have reached the Wisla and even made bridgeheads around Danzig. In Romania, the Romanian capital of Bucharest have ben taken by the Soviets and the Romanian Army is at the brink of capitulation.
It seems it is only a matter of time, before the Red army clashes with the Allied forces.
Remember it is a Axis vs. Allies vs Soviet Union scenario, but Denmark is not at war with the Soviet Union. (Also Turkey is at war with the Allies and the Soviet Union.
The Soviet German war. Notice that the Germany and the rest of the Axis have lost a lot of men, compared to their Soviet counterparts. (2,9M men have the German lost by Soviet hands, compared to 1,4 million lost men to the Germans for the Soviet Union.
The Fascist-Allied war have been Devastating for the Allies, a lot of casualties have been suffered by the Allied Nation.
Asia
Japan have lost controlled over China, but have managed to get control over some islands in Indonesia.
The Chinese-Japanese war have been a bloody conflict that lasted for a long time, but now that the Japanese no longer control anything in China, the Chine-Japanese conflict have become less bloody.

The 5th of November 1943: The Orders have ben given, Liberate Jutland from the German oppressors. The Forces guarding the western side of Lillebælt are mere skeleton divisions. The Danish army was ordered to attack and contacted resistance cells that have just waited for the perfect moment, to attack the German Garrison guarding Lillebælt.
A underequipped German division are guarding the Southern part of Lillebælt and 2 Bulgarian Divisions are guarding the Northern part.
The 6th of November 1943
The German forces in eastern northern Schleswig have been taken out, The Danish forces, lead by veterans on the Naval invasion of Oslo and backed by Jutlandic partisants made short work of the Small German garrision in the Area.
The First Danish victory in the war, that took place in Denmark, a huge success. The liberation have begun.
The 7th of November 1943: Danish forces have entered Kolding, Aabenraa and Sønderborg. The Danish army is quickly advancing in all directions in order to exploit the Breakthrough, before the Germans can send reinforcements.
The Danish doctrine of rapid infantry infiltration are finally but to a real test. Danish infantry are quickly advancing and are wasting no times on victory parades in the Jutlandic cities they liberate.
The 8th of November 1943: All Danish forces have landed in Jutland and are now attacking both to the North and the South. The underequipped and war tired German forces in Northern Jutland is fleeing and surrendering in masses. As they are not only fighting a large Danish army of around 160K men, which is well know to be the most dangerous of the Allied armies to face, but also fighting a lot of Danish partisans, that have started attacking and harassing German forces, on an even larger scale than before. The Jutlandic resistance have provided a lot of critical intelligence of German positions equipment and their current morale. Making the Danish liberation of Jutland one of the quickest victories in the Danish army's history.
Danish forces managed to engage Germans in Aarhus that was trying to evacuate, preventing 5 surprisingly well equipped divisions from retreating to the German Mainland. The Germans where clearly not prepared for such a Quick offensive from the Danish army.
The 15th of November 1943: Jutland is now liberated, with the only exception being the islands north of Limfjorden, where the German forces have retreated to, in order to make their last stand in Denmark, to the South the Danish forces managed to seize the initiative and have captured the German city of Hamburg and Lübeck. Making an excellent defensive line. The Allies have now finally access to the Baltic sea, through the Kiel Canal.
Denmark is almost liberated again, only a small pocket of Germans are still fighting in Denmark.
The 20th of November 1943: Skagen have been liberated and a lot of Germans have either died or surrendered to the Danish forces, some of the Germans have reateated to Hanstholm, the last Bunkerinstallation still under German control in Denmark.
16 thousand Germans surrendered in Skagen, many Germans are getting tired of war and dealing with partisants.
The 24th of November 1943: The last German forces in Denmark have surrendered, it is now only the Island of Bornholm, that is under German occupation. All Danish forces are ordered to the Southern front, in order to take as much German territory as possible, before the Germans organise a Defense on the new Northern Front.
The 8th of December 1943: Stettin have been captured by Danish forces, the Last German port in the Baltic sea. The Danish forces have also pushed all the way to Berlin, where the Germans finaly managed to orginise a Defense, of their City. (The Soviet captured Bornholm, before I noticed it)
The 19th December 1943: Berlin have been captured by Danish forces. It costed many Danish soldiers their lives to capture the German capital. But it gave a lot of prestige to the Danish army. Danish General Wain Prior lead the Assault against the German forces in Berlin. The fighting was brutal, street by street combat, but the Danish army was too well trained and equipped to combat everything the German had in the City.
Winston Churchill congratulated the Danish army, for almost singlehandedly capturing the German capital, without any support from its allies. he quoted "Danes do not fight like heroes, heros fight like Danes."
It was rumored that the Soviet Leader, Josef Stalin, was furious that Berlin was taken right under the Soviet nose. But Wain Prior famously said. "If it was not for the sacrifices and and achivements of the Soviet Union and the Red army, Denmark would never had a an opportunity to capture Berlin. There fore this is not just a victory for the Danish army, but also for the Red army. Therefore this city will not only raise the Danish flag, but also the flag of the Soviet Union."
The quote from Prior was later retold by Danish leader Frits Clausen, stating that the Danish conquest of Berlin, was not just a Danish victory, but a victory shared by the hard work of the Danish and Soviet workers and Soldiers, unified in order to Defeat the Fascist imperialist. Churchill (UK) and Roosevelt (USA) was furious that the Danish state are now aiming for friendly relations with the Soviet Union, a war enemy. But they could do nothing about it, as many allied Soldiers see the Danish army as war heroes, because Denmark is the only Nation on mainland Europe, that is not the Soviet Union, that did not capitulate to the German army and now these heroes stand in Berlin. A war with Denmark would be hard to justify for the Allied leaders, as a lot of war propaganda from the Allies have been about the bravery of the people of the Fortress isles and the fact that many allied soldiers cheered when they herd the Danish army captured Berlin.
The Danish capture of Berlin, was a shock to many military observed, many expected the Soviets or the combined allied forces to win the Race to Berlin. But the Fortress isles struck the German titan last. Right in its capital.

I have captured Slesvig-Holsten, which was my original Goal and now I stand in Berlin. I Never expected I could capture that place, I thought the Germans whould defend it, but my forces where too fast for the Germans. I would really like to see Stalins reaction to this. Imagine of all nations, lose the race towards Berlin to Denmark, which just 1 and a half month ago did not even control Jutland..
Well if the player cannot do better than the AI then they are doing something very badly wrong!
Congratulations nevertheless, to not only survive but take Berlin is quite an achievement for Denmark.
No one expects the Danish breakthrough.
Thank you, I did not expect to capture Berlin, but it is a nice achievement none the less.
Chapter 17 Hitlers Fald
Chapter 17
Hitlers Fald.
Hitlers Fald.
With the Danish conquest of Berlin, the Allies making gains in the west and the Soviet Union pushing with a large army in the East. It is only a matter of time, before the Axis powers will be forced to capitulate.
The 1st of January 1944: The Soviet Union have cancelled the Non aggression Treaty they had with Denmark.
The 4th of January 1944: Danish forces attempt an assault on the now fortified German positions, in order to encircle up to 3 German Divisions
With Germany lacking strength and is now resorting to recruit untrained soldiers and underequipped divisions, they stand no chance against a well trained and well equipped army, with superior numbers in the local battle.
The 6th of January 1944: A breakthrough was achieved on the western Flank, The German flank is now attacked in 2 directions.
The Danes have studied the art of modern war in the Fortress isles, using breakthrough tactics before only seens with tanks, done only with infantry, artillery and air support.
Under the right conditions, the Danish army could really inflict a lot of casualties to the German Army.
The 9th of January 1944: Denmark succeeded in Surrounding 3 German Divisions thank to coordinated attacks on the flank and delaying attack on the center, in order to prevent the Germans from escaping. A German Division of 10.000 men have already surrendered due to low Morale.
The Danish forces lead by Wain Prior are showing the world how to defeat an Enemy in detail. (To be fair, the Germans are underequipped and really tired of war)
The 13th of January 1944: The German pocket have surrendered, the German army now have 20.000 fewer men in their ranks. The Danish forces are now beginning an offensive towards the Saxon city of Dresden.
Due to the Danish breakthrough, there are holes in the German Line and the Danish army always try to exploit that fact, because the Germans are at this time, now strong enough to launch any sort of offensive.
The 21 of January 1944: Dresden is now in German hands, the offensive turns west towards Leipzig, in order to deny Germany access to the Saxon industry.
The German army is spread too thin to Launch any sort of counter offensive, which the Danes exploit to the Fullest.
The 24th of January 1944: Saxony is now in Danish hands Giving Denmark Access to all the industry in the State (11 civs, 8 mil, and 2 synths)
The 9th of February 1944: With the Conquest of Brandenburg and Saxony, an opportunity have arrived, to the West few Germans are defending their Eastern flank. Wain Prior have ordered all his men to concentrate, in order to do a large coordinated offensive, in order to trap a large portion of the German army in Thüringen.
With the unwillingness of the Allies to further Attack the Germans, due to the War with the Soviets, the Danish army have to take action.
The 19th of February 1944: The Danish offensive is starting to show signs of success, the Germans have not started to retreat yet and the Germans are really weak.
The Danish strategy of having a main strike force of storm troppers with smaller forces doing delaying actions to the flanks have showed to be really effective against a weakened enemy.
The 25th of February 1944: The Danish offensive in Thüringen was a success, 17 Germand and 2 Bulgarian Divisions are now trapped in a pocket, further weakening the German War effort.
It is only a matter of Time, before the pocket surrenders, the Germans have lost the equipment needed to launch any sort of offensive a long time ago.
The 16th of March 1944: The German pocket of Thüringen have been cleared, Germany have now lost a million soldiers to the Danish army. Denmark have only lost 82.000 men in battle.
The 21st of March 1944: Nürnberg have been captured by Danish forces, on offensive southward towards the last German coreland have begun.
If München and Innsbruck could be captured, that will trap the German forces in southern Germany and it will trap a lot of Germans.
The 30th of March 1944: München have fallen and The Danish are advancing Towards Salzburg, Innsbruck and the Swiss-German Border.
With the German Front in the South collapsing, the Danish army might split what remains of the German Reich in 2.
The 4th of April: The Germans managed to halt the Danish offensive. Germany have a small corridor towards South-West Germany yet. The Danish army have been ordered to halt their offensives and reorganise. But the German state is still at the werge of Collapse, with years of brutal warfare, the loss of Northern Germany and Millions of dead and captured German Soldiers. The Germans have become delusional and are starting to desert and there are a lot of revolts, only a few major cities are left, before the Germans will capitulate.
The Danes have Almost isolated the German State of Baden-Würtenberg, but the Germans managed to stop the Danes in the Mountains.
The 27th of April 1944: Stuttgart have been captured by Danish forces. The Day after the Germans capitulated and the Spoils of war was shared between the Victors.
The Frontlines of Europe, before the Capitulation of the Axis powers.
The 28th of April 1944: After the Axis surrendered Europe look like this. Italy, Germany and Austria are now Democratic Nations. Germany lost Memel and Schleswig Holstein in the Peace treaty. Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Transylvania are now communist states under the Soviet Union.
Denmark have been kicked out of the Allies, due to their "fascist" tendencies, their refuals to return Schleswig Holstient to the now Democratic Germany and because of their Refusal to fight against the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union have returned Bornholm, due to the Fact Denmark did not declare war on the Soviets and in return, Denmark will give the Soviet Union unrestricted Acces though the Kiel Canal and the Danish straight, promising that the Soviet ships will not be inspected, as long as they just pass through Danish waters.
For Hoi4 peace deals, this is not that bad. But France is still messed up.
The 6th of May: The United Kingdom invited Denmark into the Allies again, they offered recognition of the Danish control of Schleswig Holstein in return for the Danes to join their war against the Soviets. The Danes refused, as they are tired of war and their nation is devastated by war, especially in Jutland and Schleswig Holstein.

Well.
My AAR is complete, I have defeated the Germans and I got Schleswig Holstein under my control. Denmarks independence is now secured.
If people want, I can continue the AAR in order to set this world at peace. But It will be by how I believe (and want) the war will go. I will let the game run for a while, to see how the Allied-Soviet war will go and then I will conclude the AAR.
Also due to the AAR ended at the 24th of December, I am just going to say merry Christmas, or as we say in Denmark "Glædelig Jul".
Thank to your dear readers, it was fun Witting an AAR and it made a big difference that people enjoy reading it. I want to do more AAR's in the Future.

Ejderen? Det er sku Danmark til Elben.
I am impressed too. I gave the Germans so many cassualtires. Over 700K Germans died compared to 60K Danes. Only the United States and the Soviet Union inflicted more cassualties to the Germans
