Initially Denmark signed a neutrality and nonaggression type of pact. Denmark sincerely believed Germany would leave them alone. The Nazis did invade their country but let the Danes carry on with their own government and lifestyle. Eventually the Nazis showed their true colors. The Danes created and Underground Resistance Network. They smuggled Jews out of the country and fought the Nazis overtly and covertly. They received help from England in their underground efforts.

∙ 13y agoYes. The Danes secretly shipped nearly all members of their small Jewish community to Sweden.
Improved answer: they weren't that innocent... Some of the Danes did help. But some of them also supported the brutal slaying of Jews. In the Holocaust museum in Jerusalem, there is even a letter where the danish king himself, states that he is not against the Nazis.
The Danish kids are being told that Denmark helped the Jews, which is true, to a certain degree. But most of the country did nothing about it. My father knows a man who was killed by Danes, because he was a member of an organization that tried to help the Jews. There were also two concentration camps registered in Denmark.. but how often do we hear about them?
Further improved answer: My eighth grade Holocaust play was about the way the Danes saved the Jews in Denmark. I was one of the playwrights and I had the lead role. And I'm Jewish, by the way. The Danes helped the Jews like no other nation did. If everyone had acted this way, there might not have been a Holocaust. Did everyone help? No. However, there were Danes who risked their lives to save many, many Jews. Ina Haxen, for one, and Professor & Mrs. Ege. The number of Danish Jews that would have died in the Holocaust were drastically decreased by the gentile Danes who stood up for the Jews.
