Maybe they could land in the Friesian Islands?

I was waiting for that.
Maybe the West Frisian Islands. The Dutch would never expect that. British Texel!

I’d imagine the army to be concerned about when directly attacking the Kiel canal is not the Danish army, but the German army.

North ArmyYes, but which particular German army are you imagining?
Not sure on the quality of the troops but the Danish army initially mobilized 58k men at the start to guard Copenhagen with 80% on the island of Sealand (might be Zealand).2 reserve divisions and 4 Landwehr Brigades - that a corps level force, not an army. But, wasn't there a naval division as well?

I am also curious as to what the German 1st army is doing considering that August 23rd they engaged the BEF at Mons. Here unless the French can move forces they would be marching in the open and forfe the French 5th to give way before the German 2nd unless they want to be encircled.
The question then becomes from where are they pulled and when can they get in line, would this be an alt-Mons with French instead of British or does it take longer so that they first fight deeper in France and the 5th has pulled back quicker?I assumed that Joffre would replace the missing BEF with a reserve/territorial divisional force which 1st Army attacks and defeats...
