The Scavenius cabinet was the government of Denmark from 9 November 1942 to 5 May 1945. It replaced the first Buhl cabinet, which collapsed due to the Telegram Crisis in November 1942, when the Germans demanded changes to the Danish government. The Germans wanted nonpolitical ministers and Nazi ministers in the new government, however only the first demand was met.
Following the in 1943, the Germans put forward more demands, which the Danish authorities refused. The government therefore filed a resignation request for the King on 29 August 1943, who refused to accept it. The government de facto ceased to function, though still formally in power. The was established, where the permanent secretaries of the ministries managed the country. Only after the liberation of 5 May 1945, were the resignation accepted, and the Scavenius cabinet and Board of permanent secretaries were replaced by the second Buhl cabinet.
Some of the terms in the table begin before after 9 November 1942 because the minister was in the fourth Stauning cabinet as well.
