Denmark was first neutral, and then occupied by the Germans during WWII. This is not what people would typically consider "part of the Third Reich", unless one would also consider Switzerland or Belgium to have been.

Their government was eventually dissolved and they were ruled by Germany directly, IIRC.

Switzerland remained independent throughout the war.

Switzerland was not occupied. (Belgium was.)
