Apparently, Thailand surrendered more quickly than Denmark during WW2. Although they were an Axis ally, the Japanese initially invaded the country first before the Thai government caved in and entered an alliance with Japan. The invasion lasted for only 5 hours compared to Denmark, who surrendered after 6 hours.

This technically much means that a nation such as Luxembourg, lasted much longer compared to Denmark and Thailand. The mighty Luxembourg lasted one day before the Germans managed to fully occupy the country.
Granted that the Danish and Thai governments thought that surrender was more favorable than fighting a nation much more powerful than them (Copenhagen was spared from destruction and Thailand managed to reclaim some of their lost land), I still find it funny that Luxembourg put up more of a fight than them.

Luxemburg should have surrendered as well IMO. Why sacrifice lives when there is nothing to be won?
You can count on one hand the number of countries that were never colonized, and it’s kinda tragic that one of them invaded and occupied another. Japan became what they were trying to protect themselves from.

Even more crazy is that the Luxemburg Volunteer Corp stayed in their barrack so it was only the police and a few border guard that fought the German army.

Luxembourg is not a big place, for them to actually take Luxembourg they must *take Luxembourg* for them to take a large country they need the government to surrender, which they might not even need to invade just send the demand and intent.
likely Denmark and other similar countries had already considered privately their actions should they suffer German invasion as the remilitarisation of German was Known even though there was some financial fuckery to hide it every intelligence agency knew, thus every government basically knew.
