Possible Invasions of Germany- WWI

I've been thinking after seeing various threads tonight about different ways to invade Germany during the Great War. We already saw a thread with a British Invasion of Pommerania.

Now, I was thinking of several different things that could happen, and various ways for the Allies to invade Germany.


1. The Allies late in the war convince Denmark to join the war, but, for normal trade between Denmark and the British, they sneak soldiers and supplies into Denmark, and then strike at Germany from the North.

2. In 1916, the front in Italy goes better for the Allies, and the Allies begin to invade Austria. They could push through Austria and attack Bavaria, forcing an opening of another front for the Germans, now the Germans would have to fight on 3 fronts (Western, Southern, and Eastern), and a 4th if the Denmark scenario also occurs.

3. The British at some point in the war (Preferably late in the war), invade near or in Bremen, and push down into Lower Saxony and North-Rhine Westphania.

These are all going to end in a bloodbath for the Allies.....
 
It may also be a bloodbath for the CP.

If any of the Northern Campaigns take place, it would force German troops who would have been returning from the surrender of Russia to move towards these new fronts, making the Western Front somewhat easier for the Allies.

If the Italian Front pushes into Austria, it could force Austria out of the war earlier, and more Allied troops could be sent to various fronts.

I'm not an expert by any means but even i can see the issues here.

1. Denmark- How do you sneak in thousands and thousands of men and tons and tons (and tons) of material without anyone noticing? I mean, it isn't exactly as if Germany is blind...Also, Denmark is a ridiculously narrow front to attack from. You thought the Western Front was bad?

2. Italy- Attacking over the Alps into Germany? Or even worse, through Austria-Hungary and THEn\N into Germany. I mean, this is alot of ground to cover...

3. Bremen- Same issues as a Baltic Landing...
 
Bremen would be easier than the Baltic though, it would be easier to supply the forces, due to it being closer, and that it could be kept secret, since they don't have to pass any German territory to get to it. It would still be very, very bloody, but could be a thorn in the side of the Germans.
