If you wanted to argue in favour of such extreme epistemological solipsism, you should have just said so rather than specifically questioning the existence of Nazi snatch squads in Denmark, or their well-documented arrests of many Jews just a few days after Bohr fled.
If all you had questioned was the article's hyperbole around imminence then I could accept your argument. That you're questioning whether the snatch squads existed at all is just bizarre.
You can call it 'extreme epistemological solipsism'. I call it not treating a unverified story as true. Especially when the hyperbole is rife throughout.
'Snatch squad' is just a term. 'Police arrest' is another term. 'Terrorist detention' is another. These terms provide all the context the casual reader needs to consider themselves informed.
