Denmark and Norway
The Nazis took over Denmark during World War II primarily because it was strategically important for controlling the Baltic Sea and blocking any potential Allied invasion. Additionally, Denmark had been neutral at the beginning of the war, but after Germany invaded Norway in 1940, Denmark's government felt compelled to surrender in order to protect Danish citizens from a full-scale invasion. Nazi occupation of Denmark lasted until 1945 when Germany surrendered.
The Nazis were only able to kill 52 out of 8000 Denmark Jews. This was because the Denmark government sent them to Neutral Sweden.

Denmark and Norway
Denmark did not real have an important role in world war 2. The only reason Germany occupied Denmark was because they had a big agriculture and could secure Germany alot of food. Also airports in Denmark where used much. Most of all there was 2 special airports. One in "Aalborg" and one in the very small town of "Randbøldal"
Luxembourg had every intention of being neutral as other nations had however they were invaded by Germans as was Belgium, The Netherlands and Denmark. Neutrality pacts and nonaggression pacts they signed with Germany were unobserved by Hitler. He invaded their nations and killed their Jews. The Swiss were supposed to be neutral too but they ended up aiding Hitler to keep him out of their nation.
Both sides fought for the neutral nations hoping to gain more allies. The neutral nations, by definition, did not fight

When Germany invaded Poland in September 1939, France and Britain had agreements to defend Poland, and thus declared war. Denmark had no such agreement. When Russia invaded Finland in late 1939, the Allies considered aiding democratic Finland. German leadership felt an Allied presence in Scandinavia would threaten supplies of iron ore from neutral Sweden. To preempt this Allied plan, Germany invaded Denmark and Norway in April 1940. Denmark was neutral at the time and unprepared, leading to their surrender in short order. Germany also desired better access to the Atlantic, which Denmark provided. At first, many Danes welcomed German soldiers, but a resistance soon developed, which aided the Allies throughout the war.
Yes, Germany attacked Norway and Denmark on the 9. April 1940.

American public opinion turned against Germany in WW One & WW Two for various reasons. In WW1, Germany invaded France & Belgium in August 1914. Because, Belgium was a neutral country, Americans were upset with Germany. The invasion of Belgium however was not the most important factor. Later, German unrestricted submarine warfare also turned American public opinion against Germany. Then as a final straw, the German's Zimmermann telegram message to Mexico further angered Americans. In WW2, Germany invaded Poland, neutral Denmark, neutral Norway, neutral Holland, neutral Belgium, and so forth on & on. German submarine warfare also turned public opinion against Germany.
