OPROP! (Opraab! in correct 1940-Danish; transl. proclamation) was a German airborne propaganda leaflet dropped over several Danish cities at the German invasion of Denmark on 9 April 1940. The leaflets were signed by the head of Operation Weserübung Süd, General Leonhard Kaupisch. The text, written in broken but understandable Danish mixed with Norwegian, justified the German invasion as fraternally protecting Danish and Norwegian neutrality against British aggression, denounced Winston Churchill as a warmonger, and exhorted the Danish populace not to resist the German presence while an arrangement with the Danish government was being negotiated.

Más tarde, Kaupisch le contó a un periodista que el texto alemán de OPROP! lo escribió el mismo Adolf Hitler, tras descartar un borrador que hizo Kaupisch. También fue Hitler quien realizó la traducción.[cita requerida] El panfleto OPROP! tuvo un impacto notable en la rendición danesa. Cuando la infantería alemana llegó al Palacio de Amalienborg en la mañana del 9 de abril de 1940, se encontraron con la determinada oposición de la , que rechazó el ataque inicial, resultando tres heridos. Esto le dio tiempo a Cristián X y a sus ministros para conferenciar con el comandante en jefe del ejército danés William Wain Prior. Mientras se llevaban a cabo las discusiones, varias formaciones de bombarderos Heinkel He 111 y Dornier 17 sobrevolaron la ciudad, lanzando los panfletos OPROP!. Ante la amenaza explícita de la Luftwaffe de bombardear a la población civil de Copenhague, y con solo la aprobación del general Prior de continuar la lucha, el gobierno danés capituló a cambio de conservar su independencia política en los asuntos internos.

- OPROP! (Opraab! in correct 1940-Danish; transl. proclamation) was a German airborne propaganda leaflet dropped over several Danish cities at the German invasion of Denmark on 9 April 1940. The leaflets were signed by the head of Operation Weserübung Süd, General Leonhard Kaupisch. The text, written in broken but understandable Danish mixed with Norwegian, justified the German invasion as fraternally protecting Danish and Norwegian neutrality against British aggression, denounced Winston Churchill as a warmonger, and exhorted the Danish populace not to resist the German presence while an arrangement with the Danish government was being negotiated. The OPROP! leaflet had a notable impact in regards to the Danish capitulation. When the German infantry arrived at the Amalienborg Palace in the morning of 9 April 1940, they were met with determined opposition from the King's Royal Guard, which repelled the initial attack, suffering three wounded. This gave Christian X and his ministers time to confer with the Danish Army chief General William Wain Prior. As the discussions were ongoing, several formations of Heinkel He 111 and Dornier 17 bombers roared over the city dropping the OPROP! leaflets. Faced with the explicit threat of the Luftwaffe bombing the civilian population of Copenhagen, and only General Prior in favour of continuing the fighting, the Danish government capitulated in exchange for retaining political independence in domestic matters. In 2016 historian Hans Christian Bjerg argued that the poor broken Danish on the leaflet could be because it was a rushed translation of a similar leaflet written by the Germans for use over Norway the same day. The reason would be that Operation Weserübung initially called for invasion only of Norway and that the additional invasion of Denmark was decided at a late stage in the planning.
