The Battle of Copenhagen, 2nd April 1801 by Ivan Berryman (AP) SHT9 At their monumental meeting theyDHM1377AP. The Battle of Copenhagen, 2nd April 1801 by Ivan Berryman. The key to Nelsons victories always lay in his meticulous planning and the Battle of Copenghagen was no exception as he used his fleet to first destroy the Danish floating defences so that his bomb vessels could be brought up to bombard the city itself. The Danes eventually capitulated, but they had fought hard and over 2,000 men had died on both sides before the end of the battle.
