I dont see any sence in adding Denmark either. Denmark was an occupied country. If you want to represent Danish born people fighting alongside German units then add them to the German OOB.

France was an occupied country, Poland was an occupied country, Holland was an occupied country... I could go on and on.
The fact is that Denmark was attacked by Germany on April 9th 1940 and there was a few hours of fighting in Jutland as well as in Copenhagen. There was fighting again in 1943 when the German Army decided to disarm and demobilize the Danish Army, also about half a day.
Of course, both occasions could be elaborated on with what-ifs and you could even make a two-battle campaign
Or include the Danish debacle in a "Weserübung" campaign.

Why? The Danish Army remained operational under the German occupation until August 1943.
As I said before, though Denmark was not a major combattant, at least the country did fight - as opposed to Sweden (but keep the Swedes in - we have scores to settle, particularily since the latest articles in Aftonbladet about Denmark
). So if participation is a criterum - then Denmark should be in - at some point.
