²Prime Minister Scavenius and his government laid down their functions 29 Aug 1943. From then the Germans governed Denmark alone. However, Scavenius and his government constitutionally still were Denmark's government until 1945.
³External resistance against the Germans started immediately in 1940, the Danish diplomatic representatives abroad refusing to recognize the new situation created by the occupation. The most important among them was Henrik Kauffmann, the Minister to the U.S., who, in 1941, placed Greenland under American protection. This was soon followed by the establishment, in London, of a Danish Council, acting as a representative of the Free Danish. The Council had no Chairman for most of the war. It was only in the last month before the liberation that Frode Jacobsen (s.a.)(the founder of the Council) emerged as de facto leader. The Council continued to function for some time after liberation.
