What happened to the Jew's in Copenhagen in 1943?
They had to flee, since the German occupational forces in Denmark has been given orders from Berlin to round them up and deport them to concentration camps - just as it had happened in other occupied countries. A German official, Duckwitz, told leading danish politicians about the plan and they in turn got the resistance movement to organise the rescue of the Danish Jews across the Øresund strait to neutral Sweden.
What was the capital of Denmark back in the Vikings?
Roskilde, west of Copenhagen was Denmark's first capital during late viking times. Before that the seat of the kings who united the country was in Jelling in middle Jutland. [Of course, it should be added that a Capital in the modern sense of the word didn't exist in the viking age]
The king Harald Bluetooth probably transferred his seat of recidence to Roskilde because it was more centrally placed, and to exploit the mythical strength of the area. Just south of Roskilde the Danes had their legendary 'home' in Lejre. Excavations in Lejre have shown traces of "royal size" houses dated back to the late iron age - it was probably also a religious centre.
