Just a question that I suspect has been debated before but I want to sate my curiosity.
Why didn't the allies invade Germany through Denmark?

Also with it being right next to Germany it's easier for them to ship in troops by rail.Plus, even if you do have a successful landing, the base of the peninsula is only about 30 miles wide at its narrowest point, so the Germans could seal it off relatively easily.

More important you have a very narrow front with no opportunity to outflank enemy lines.Also with it being right next to Germany it's easier for them to ship in troops by rail.

Dear M79,
The disadvantage of only invading Southern France is that invading forces are quickly channeled up the narrow Rhone River Valley. The river is squeezed between the Alps and the Massif Central all the way to Geneve, Switzerland. Defending Germans can lay a variety of ambushes - along the Rhone River Valley - at their leisure.
