I hadn't gotten a chance to go after this yet
Denmark? Really?
Just no; what ports would that be intent on capturing exactly Odense and Coppenhagen involve going through massive minefields and the fucking skaggerack in the later case into the teeth of 1600 German home defense aircraft.... that's not a launch at darkness and strike at dawn type operation; some part of that op is going to end up in considerable broad daylight with the Germans noticing before they land. Denmark has difficult to cross (in the face of organized opposition) water obstacles and can be rapidly reinforced by mobile divisions from the pas de calais and the low countries; plus troops in Germany itself
The ammo/fuel/replacement stream will be much slower and less secure which will delay progress and lead to a threat of the Germans botteling up the beachhead which with tactical and strategic insanity they nearly did to the normandy beachead
bah, they will build a pipeline, a shuttle service and just use more air transports... the ports they will build fast (2 weeks for something like rotterdam) and the germans will learn about the invasion only 2 months after the begining...
as far as the invasion was mentioned, they try to invade the western part of the danish coast, so i asked about harbors and the mudflat... do you think they want to invade kopenhagen?
why not hamburg? at last this would be a harbor....
