Surgeon-General of Denmark

[edit]

Until the begning of the 19th century, the chief surgeon of the army was a temporary position established only in times of conflict. However, there was an increased wish to have a permanent position to plan and xxx. As such the Stabskirurgen was a major.[1] By 1848, the position was elevated to colonel .[2] Stabslægen was in 1852 a colonel, but demoted to major.[3] The rank was reelevated to colonel on 3 January 1861.[4]

Following the Hærloven af 1867, the army and navy Staff surgeons were collected into a unified corps.[5]

On 13.4.1894, the rank was officially elevated to general, the rank was previously colonel.[6]

Army

[edit]

Was the largest of the three branches, and was at its height - twice as large.[8] Of the 5 million soldiers by 1943, half were in the field army, while the other half were occupation forces, replacement army, security forces and other tasks. Within the field army, 80% were infantry divisions. Within these infantry divisions, 60% were combat troops, while the rest were support, leadership and logistics. This division of roles allowed the German army to operate more independently than the US or Red Army, with the same number of troops.[8]

Due to the creation of Luftwaffe field divisions in 1942, the army could not benefit from Luftwaffe excess personnel.[9] The Luftwaffe field divisions and elite units of the Waffen-SS, took much needed equipment from the army, making it difficult for the army to create combat effective light infantry.[10]

Divisions were armed according to the "wave" system, where equipment was issued.[11]

There was not much change in the army in the inter-war years. The soldiers' weapons or equipment saw no significant improvement until 1942, mostly due to its low priority.[12] While, the artillery had played a key part in defense during World War I, its importance was removed, as the German army adopted a principle that the tank was the best antitank weapon.[13] This meant there was a limited focus on the artillery production during the build-up years. The problems was further expanded with the capture of artillery war prizes. Instead of melting down the captured equipment, the army decided to use them. These, however, were for the most part outdated models, some as old as 1884, with different calibers, making resupply and deployment difficult. In the western theater, more than 40% of the cannons were French.[14]

A new creation for the German army, was the tank divisions. There were however disagreement as, whether to use the tanks as support or as an independent combat formation. Following the success of the Invasion of France, more importance was placed on tank formations. By placing infantry and other support elements under the command of a Panzer Corps and later army, the formations were capable of carrying out battles independently.[15]

Müller stated it was remarkable the army was able to achieve this level of success, after taking into account, the Reichswehr only able to test these ideas on tractors in the Soviet Union.[16]

In the lead up to Operation Barbarossa, the number of tank divisions were increased to the double in size within a few months. This caused many problems, as the crew of these divisions were inexperienced.[16]

Between 1939 and 1942, the number of armored fighting vehicles almost doubled, from 3,169 to 5,476.[17]

Weserübung

[edit]

Intelligence

[edit]

The German intelligence concluded the army was armed with modern equipment.[3] However,

They noted the inexperience of the Danish military, as they had not been involved in any war since 1864.[4] In case Denmark was prepared for an extended war, the Germans made these countermeasures:[5]

  1. On Zealand
    1. In Gedser
    2. In Copenhagen
  2. In Jutland

There was also a number of agents in Denmark, reporting to Germany.[6]

Note

[edit]

The fall of the Berlin Wall and Communism marked a change in Danish military views. As it went from a defensive instrument in a "frontline" nation, to an active political instrument beign active abroad.[7] This resulted in major restructuring and cuts to military expenditure. These cuts and the significance of 1989, is used throughout Danish & international media and academia.[8][9][10][11]


The structural changed which happened in 1989, was classified as fitting with the theory of Adam Grissom (2007) regarding "Military transformation".[12]
