Der er et yndigt land Der er et yndigt land,
Det står med brede bøge
Nær salten østerstrand;
Det bugter sig i bakke, dal,
Det hedder gamle Danmark,
Og det er Frejeas sal. Es gibt ein liebliches Land,
das liegt mit breiten Buchen
nah am salz'gen Ostseestrand.
Erstreckt sich über Hügel und Tal,
Es heißt das alte Dänemark,
und ist der der Freja Saal. There Is A Lovely LandThere is a lovely land
That proudly spreads her beeches
Beside the Baltic strand,
Beside the Baltic strand.
A land that curves in hill and dale,
That men have named Old Denmark,
And this is Freya's hall, and this is Freya's hall.
There sat that earlier day
The heroes in their harness
And rested from the fray;
And rested from the fray;
Then forth they went, the foe they downed,
But now their bones are resting
'Neath bauta-stone and mound,
'Neath bauta-stone and mound.
And still that land is fair,
So blue the seas that belt her,
So green the woodland there;
So green the woodland there;
And noble women, comely girls
And men and lads of mettle
Dwell in the Danish isles,
Dwell in the Danish isles.

Norway and Sweden are both great countries - the "better" one largely depends on personal opinion. Their economies are fairly similar, and both have high costs and benefits of living. Norway's citizens tend to lean more on the asocial
asocial side, which suits some people perfectly; Swedes are more social than Norwegians, but probably less so than what you're accustomed to. Norway has a higher GDP per capita, which basically means Norwegians make more money; Sweden has a more even distribution of wealth. Both countries have a fantastic welfare system - but only for permanent residents. Permanent residency is easier to earn in Sweden, since it is in the European Union, and that also adds the benefits of being able to move between other EU countries freely. So, overall, it's just whichever country you like better.
(If you're looking for an opinion, then Sweden is better than Norway seen from an "overall" perspective.)

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.

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.
