The German codename for the occupation of the Rhineland was "Operation Winter Excercise" .
German occupation refers to German armies being located in and controlling a piece of territory that was not previously a part of Germany.
The German occupation of several European countries during World War II started in 1939 with the invasion of Poland.
The question seem to imply that Copenhagen as whole was a target of the Holocaust, which would be a bit of an exaggeration. There were approx. 7.000 Jews living in Denmark at the time of the German occupation - most of them in Copenhagen. With the exception of people who due to old age or illness were unable to travel, almost all Jews were saved from the Holocaust due to a number of factors (like a German official warning Danish politicians, a popular active support of the secret evacuation of Jews to coastal towns and via boats on to neutral Sweden). They stayed in Sweden until the war was over after which they returned to Denmark and Copenhagen. (PS: some apparently didn't have the patience to wait it out in Sweden and quickly snug back to Denmark and joined the resistance movement. PPS: The German official who spilled the beans, Duchwitz, became a West-German ambassador to Denmark in the 50's).
