You're right, that Denmark did not suffer much in WW2 - we weren't bombed, had food etc. We fed the Norwegians and helped our jews, sent almost all our ships to USA (we're a marine country) and instructed them not to obey any orders from Denmark until the war was over, but otherwise than that, Denmark was very insignificant. It's not like Netherlands that had cities flattened, or Poland that was squashed, etc. But many wars and cruelties have been around as a result of blaming children for what their parents did, and no significant decision-maker in 1939 was still a decision-maker in the 1980s. My uncle had a small shop in Ebeltoft in Denmark, with lots of German tourists buying stuff. He loved it, and he loved talking to those German tourists. However, every time they asked him: "Where did you learn to talk German so well?", he answered truthfully: Im Konzentrationslager (He was a KZ prisoner at the war end). Few Germans continued the conversations after that, even though my uncle wanted to.
