Why was Denmark important to Hitler?
The German invasion of Norway was a dramatically daring military operation. The decision to embark on the venture was made by Adolf Hitler as Chief of State and also (since December 1938) as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the German Reich. He arrived at it over a period of six months during which the proposal was debated at length in the highest echelons of the German Armed Forces. Hitler's own attitude shifted during that time from lukewarmness verging on indifference to determination. Since the war the decision has been both praised and condemned; here it is presented as an example of decision-making in a developing situation. [1] Even though the occupation of Norway and Denmark had no significant effect on the outcome of the war, it established a milestone in the history of warfare by demonstrating the effective reach of modern military forces. Although lacking the resources to capitalize on it, the Germans had made a move of potential value to them in the development of a global strategy. It confronted the United States as well as Great Britain with a strategic threat. It brought Germany, theoretically at least, into a position to strike outward from the mainland of Europe toward Iceland, Greenland, and possibly the North American continent.
Why did Germany allow Sweden to remain neutral and not occupy it as it did it Denmark?
Because they had been helping Germany: helped with the designs of panzers, had trained some of their officers, supplied them with raw materials.
AnswerNorway had a strategic importance to Germany so they used Denmark as a staging ground for the invasion of Norway, Sweden wasnt of any importance to Germany if it was Sweden would have been invaded. Answer"Because they had been helping Germany: helped with the designs of panzers, had trained some of their officers, supplied them with raw materials."We did sell them iron ore, but i doubt we did any of the other stuff you mentioned, here are some reasons.
Swedens own army during world war II was poorly trained and equiped(so Germany would be have been able to train their own troops better then Sweden could.
and when it comes to tanks the swedish tanks where nothing compared to the German ones, our best tank would be classed as a medium tank.
Wehn ti comes to why Germany didnt attack Sweden the answer is simple, they had planned to do so several times during world war II but they needed troops on other fronts so if Germany would have beaten the soviets Sweden could have been the next target.

When is the independence of Denmark?
Unfortunately, the vikings were not very literary guys, so little is known about the establishment of a single Danish kingdom. This means that prior to the King 'Gorm the Old' (ruling in the first half of the 10th century, and it's not even 100% certain that he controlled the entire area) there is only incoherent pieces of information about various kings. It is assumed that some of the kings in preceding centuries would have had the country under control in some periods and not at other times. From this 'dark' period there are, however, several prehistorical constructions that lead historians to think that only a central power can have organised the necessary resources for their completion. Examples are the 'Danevirke' (a 15-20 km long earthen wall protecting the southern border) begun in the 7th century, and the Kanhave canal (a 500 m long canal dug through a island to give a defending ship a tactical advantage over attacking fleets) from the 8th century.
Leaving the juridical definitions, it can be pointed out that the inhabitants of what was later definitely called The Kingdom of Denmark, already centuries earlier saw themselves as a People, since early Viking settlements in France (Normady = kingdom of the Norse men) and England can have the word 'Dane' in their names, but never the names of the subdivisions of Denmark, i.e. a Viking from Jutland (=The Danish peninsula) would called himself a Dane (at least when abroad!) rather than a Jute.
A thyristor is a rectifier semiconductor between two electrodes that permit unidirectional flow in anodes and cathodes.The flow of the current can be switched by a gate electrode that controls main driven electrical devices.To check a thyristor the current flow (between emitter/collector terminals) is checked.Then a small base current is applied to see if the thyristor functions as a switch.
