Heaven and hell are eternal places because they are always present at the extremes of human existence, for better or for worse. People are constantly choosing between them, although they are generally not conscious of that in an articulated manner.

Jewish Political Studies Review 18:3-4 (Fall 2006):
"Rescue, Expulsion, and Collaboration: Denmark's Difficulties with its World War II Past" [Link] by Vilhjálmur Örn Vilhjálmsson and Bent Blüdnikow has many details, but is extremely focused on the Jewish issue. When reading through, one is left wondering about the stories that might exist about people who for some reason were not Jewish, but still suffered.

"In 2003, in a speech for the 60th anniversary of the end of the 1940–43 collaborationist government, Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen said that Denmark's cooperation with Nazis was "morally unjustifiable", which was the first public condemnation of the World War II era Danish leadership by a Danish leader." Anders Fogh Rasmussen was instrumental for Denmark to join the US led attack on Iraque, later he became NATO General Secretary. That HE lamented the cooperation policy, might be the irony of history.
About the Danish military losses in SS service, the numbers vary, but 2000-4000. They were greater than those suffered by Danes in allied service and by the Danish resistance movement,
Free Corps Denmark was formed with government approval and promised that there would be no legal consequences afterwards. The government changed their mind about the last point when they had to cooperate with the new boss at the end of and following WW 2.) [Link]
Free Corps Denmark was disbanded in 1943 after two years, but the members that continued joined other units like 11th SS Volunteer Panzergrenadier Division Nordland and 5th SS Panzer Division Wiking.
At least one of the people involved with Free Corps Denmark had and interesting background. "Christian Frederik von Schalburg — a Danish-Russian aristocrat, anti-communist and member of the DNSAP." His mother was Russian and his father Danish, an officer in the Royal Guard until he joined Free Corps Denmark which he commanded for a while, until he died on the East Front. - That was 73 years ago, yesterday, in the newspaper, I saw that Danish military tank units have been doing a good job in Poland together with other NATO units. Mr Efraim Zuroff is in Denmark, but will the eventuality of a court case also lead to reflections that might impact the present and the future of Danish foreign policy? Probably not, Denmark has long given up any right to substantial independence.
