Copenhagen: J. H. Schultz Forlag, pp. 47–51 Along with the corresponding Folketing election, it was the first election during the German occupation, and although many people feared how the Germans might react to the election, the event took place peacefully.Nordengaard, J. P. (1949). Valgene til Rigsdagen gennem 100 Aar da. Roskilde Dagbladstrykkeri, chapter III, pp. 7–8. The voter turnout was an unusually high 88.8%, and along with the Folketing election of the same year the election became a demonstration against the occupation.Wendt, Frantz W. (1951). "Rigsdagen 1915–40", in Bomholt, J., Fabricius, K., Hjelholt, H., Mackeprang, M. & Møller, A. (eds.): Den Danske Rigsdag 1849–1949 bind II – Rigsdagens histore 1866–1949 da. Copenhagen: J. H. Schultz Forlag, pp. 642–43. After the elections, leading German newspapers expressed disappointment and indignation with the lack of political evolution among the Danish voters.
