I've never heard anyone claim that they weren't Scandinavian. Their language
is certainly Scandinavian (it's my understanding that if you know any one of
Norwegian, Swedish or Danish, you can get along in the other two with only
minor difficulty), and their history is closely intertwined with that of
Norway and Sweden.

I think that's a joke. IIRC, there's been hard feelings among many Danes
against the Germans for many years. The Prussian seizure of Schleswig (?)
and Holstein from Denmark in 1866 (?) was a real sore point, I think.
