Dänemark war kampfbereit: Hier ist der Befehl an die dänischen Soldaten in Grönland

>Denmark was prepared to take up arms if, in the worst-case scenario, Greenland were to be attacked by the US.

>That was how serious the situation was for the Danish Realm until two days ago – Wednesday afternoon – when President Donald Trump, in a speech at a summit in Switzerland, called off the threat of military action.

>This is what DR has learned based on insight into the order that the Danish soldiers were sent to Greenland with, as well as information from key political sources.

>The order to the Danish soldiers was issued last week from the highest level.

>“The Defense Forces must strengthen their ability to carry out the defense plan for Greenland as quickly as possible,” states the order, which is several pages long.

>The order also states that the Danish soldiers have been sent to Greenland equipped with live ammunition.

>This is so-called KUP ammunition, which individual soldiers or units must keep close at hand so that they can immediately engage in combat if necessary.

I mean militaries plan for the worst possible scenario, so this makes sense. They wouldn’t be doing their jobs properly if they weren’t.
