Chapter XXIX: Return to Self-Rule in Denmark and Norway
The story of how the resistance forces in Denmark and Norway took over from the occupying power and provided a smooth transition to self-rule is a remarkable one illustrative of the best traditions of democratic government. In both cases without bloodshed or violence, a regime viewed with implacable hatred for five years was displaced and an orderly government set up. The Allies had to prepare for the possibility that they would have to furnish extensive friendly guidance and help in both cases. But when the SHAEF missions moved in after German surrender they found the quislings expelled and an indigenous government in complete control of the situation. Nothing but supply assistance, especially in fuel and raw materials, was needed of the Allies by either country. The food shortage was much more severe in Norway than in Denmark.

In Denmark, as in Norway, the principal assistance rendered by the Allied forces was in civilian supply, but the only substantial needs of the Danes were for coal and POL. In both countries the military phase terminated rather quickly-with the gratified recognition of the missions that effective planning by local undergrounds had made the carrying out of elaborate Allied planning largely unnecessary.
