There are different sources for the information that was leaked. According to some it was von Best, accordig to the Jewish Virtual Library, it was a German diplomat

I'll get back to you on that one once I've gotten my hands on some history books and double checked it.
Blah-blah-blah... That doesn't change the fact that it's profiteering. Not that much different from the people that smuggle refugees to Europe from Africa. They have families too you know, and boats to replace, if the Spanish navy finds them!
So the spanish navy have a tendency to sink refugee ships then?
There were almost no Danish resistance until 1943, and the resistance didn't get started for real until 1944. In other words, when it was pretty sure that Hitler would lose the war.
You are overlooking the civil disobediance, slick. That started almost immidiately after the occupation on april 9th 1940.
The first resistance groups arrived in 1941. That same year, the British send over operatives to help coordinate the sabotages which started in early 1942.
And the people behind "Holger Danske" (1942) would take great offence in being called Communists.
The only resistancefighters before 1943 were a few groups of Danish Communists, who not only had to fear the Germans, but also the Danish police, who were more than willing to catch the "terrorists" as the Danish government and even in some examples, the danish press called the resistance fighters.
As previously stated: Not all resistance groups or fighters were communists. Not even in the early days.
As for the rest:
Ever hear of "Censorship"? That is what they call it when an occupying force determines either directly or by applying pressure what is correct to print in the newspapers. The Illegal, and very popular, underground news told a different story. You are also overlooking the fact that the police were forced to cooperate with the germans by the danish government.
Trust me, Denmark has very little to be proud of, when it comes to WWII. Denmark cooperated so smoothly and willingly with NaziGermnay, that it wasn't until the end of 1944 I believe, that Denmark was accepted on the allied side.
Right....So you would rather that Denmark had been totally anihilated in a "real" war with a more than 3 times as big army, right? OR that the danish jews had been deported already in the start of the occupation? Or the police arrested and what limited independence were left after the invasion had been totally lost?
Yes, the government cooperated with the germans to a certain degree. Yes, it created some problems for Denmark afterwards (I'll have to get back to you on the acceptance thing later), but the Government basically had two choices:
1: Cooperate, stay in a strongly limted position of power and protect what they could, including as many human lives as possible
or
2: Not cooperate and watch Denmark get "germanised" from day one.
Have you ever been in that position? Have you ever had to make that kind of decisions? No? Then stop sounding so ****ing houlier than thou.....
And trust you? No further than I can throw you. And thats not far.
