Part 21: Scandinavia
Copenhagen, Denmark: March 9, 1942
In the darkness of night, SuperBeaver and his Ministry of Silly Walks crept across the sea to the city of Copenhagen. While the Ministry had not had a large role in the invasions of Sweden and Norway, it was going to spearhead the invasion of Denmark.
SuperBeaver *Whispering*: "Guns ready."
In unison, the soldiers of the Ministry turned off the safety on their guns. As the ships landed on the beaches, the soldiers silently crept off them. The sentries assigned to watching the beaches had their throats slit before they could raise the alarm. As the army reached the city itself, it scattered into smaller groups. SuperBeaver personally lead one squad that went straight towards the heart of the city, too a mansion with lights on, and sounds of celebration coming from inside. SuperBeaver crept up to the wall, and looked through a window. Inside were the Chief of Staff, Heads of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, the majority of Denmark's Officer Corp, and the Prime Minister himself. SuperBeaver didn't know or care what they were celebrating, but he intended to crash the party.
SuperBeaver: "Not long until the armor hits the beaches and air support arrives...."
Just then, thousands of planes dove from the sky, dropping bombs and fireing bullets into the sleeping city. In minutes, the entire city was engulfed in flames. SuperBeaver and his men watched in fascination as the city was torn apart.
SuperBeaver: "Bloody Kan, almost has to make a big entrance...."
SuperBeaver tore himself away from the spectacle, and got back to the job at hand. He threw a grenade through the mansion's window, then after the explosion, jumped inside. Most of the bodyguards had been killed by the explosion, and the ones still alive were quickly gunned down by SuperBeaver and his men. The surviving officers and government officials were captured. SuperBeaver led the men not busy guarding the prisoners back onto the streets of Copenhagen. Dannish soldiers were desperately trying to defend the city, but were no match for the superior Russian soldiers. SuperBeaver hid behind a wall as gunfire raked the street. A few Dannish soldiers had set up a roadblock, and were defending it with machine guns. SuperBeaver's men and the Danes exchanged fire for a few minutes with little effect, when a single Russian tank came and blew apart the whole roadblock. SuperBeaver and his men ran on.
In the air, a few Dannish planes were desperately trying to keep Russia out of the skies. But outnumbered 10:1, and with most of their planes destroyed before they even took off, it wasn't long before the sky was Russian-only.
After engaging in a few brief firefights, SuperBeaver reached the docks, where the Dannish division was trying to escape on the transport ships in dock. But as the ships got into open sea, the Russian navy, which had been hidden in the darkness, opened fire. Not one ship escaped the inferno.
The Battle of Copenhagen saw the complete destruction of the Dannish land, air, and sea forces. After that battle, it was only a matter of marching time to occupy the rest of the nation. With Denmark beaten, all the Scandinavian nations had been destroyed by Russian might. On March 17, 1942, Russia created the nation of Scandinavia, which would occupy all the lands of Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.
