Why did Christian X feel safe riding his horse in the street Though the German soldiers on the street of Copenhagen?

Christian X felt safe riding his horse in the streets of Copenhagen despite the presence of German soldiers because he was a symbol of Danish resistance and national pride during the German occupation in World War II. His public displays of confidence were intended to reassure the Danish people and assert their sovereignty. The soldiers' reluctance to confront the king directly further reinforced his sense of security in the situation. Ultimately, his ride became a powerful statement of defiance against the occupation.
