Overview

You're one of the first German targets and you're essentially done for off the bat.

The only hope you have is abandoning the Danish Peninsula and concentrating your forces on the straight onto the first island. Build a coastal fort there, level 2 or 3, and man it with every soldier you have. Hopefully Sweden will be in the war on your side and will send soldiers to help, as should Norway.

Abandon all hope of retaking the Peninsula until very late in the war: the Germans will garrison their side of the water heavily and you will be subject to constant attempts to cross the straight by infantry and armour, as well as a determined ground attack campaign by the Luftwaffe.

It is possible to survive by holding the islands, though without Swedish and Norwegian soldiers helping your 3 or 4 divisions will be extremely hard pressed to hold the line.

Alliances

Seeking to align yourself to the Axis can aid you, if you become allied to Germany before 1939 they won't invade you and you'll instead have the honour of being a minor player in the German conquests. Best assistance is to garrison the French ports, as Germany often leaves these poorly defended and British/American soldiers can often establish a strong foothold if the Germans are distracted by the Russians in the East.

Joining the allies will happen automatically when Germany declares war on you. Defend the islands using your navy to assist, though it is unlikely to remain afloat for long.
