If the only knowledge I had about WWII was what I learned going to school in Denmark in the 1990's I would think that the war could be summarised in the following
The Nazis started the war because they were evil and hated Jews
Then they occupied Denmark
For five years you couldn't buy coffee
The Danish resistance was very brave though and everyone supported them.
The British helped them out a bit
Americans were also the good guys
Then the Nazis lost and Hitler shot himself
Nothing about the eastern front, the Pacific or even western Europe. Nothing about collaborators although more Danes fought for the Nazis than for the allies. Most certainly not a single word about communists being the backbone of the resistance. Nothing at all about the social and political background for the rise of Nazism. Nothing about Nazi ideology apart from being evil and hating Jews. All we learned were the glossy nationalist version of what happened in Denmark. I don't recall them even talking about the Holocaust as more than a side note.
