Default plugs for Germany, Denmark and Latvia

I'm going to be traveling to Germany, Denmark and Latvia next month. I
would be most grateful if someone could tell me if all three countries
use the same style electrical plug, or if I need to purchase two or
three adapters. I'm coming from the US, so I know I need the 110/220
converter, but unsure about the plugs.

Many thanks!

Bruce

So if you only need low current the Europlug will work everywhere
you are going (2 4 mm pins 19 mm apart each 19 mm long).

If you need 10 or 16 A it's getting more complicated ...
