    Explanation
    During the German occupation of Denmark, the Danish people faced scarcity and rationing of various goods. However, bread was not one of the products that they were unable to obtain. Despite the occupation, bread remained available to the Danish people, although in limited quantities. This could be attributed to the fact that bread was considered a staple food and essential for survival, hence it was prioritized and ensured to be accessible to the population.
