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.
The Nazis were only able to kill 52 out of 8000 Denmark Jews. This was because the Denmark government sent them to Neutral Sweden.

Denmark was overrun but not destroyed in 1941 and many Danish Jews were able to escape early in the war before the persecution of Jews really got into full swing. These Jews many who spoke German and other languages were able to start resistence groups in Denmark, France, and Belgium as the first Jews who saw the Holocaust coming if something wasn't done. They were mostly in the West and unable to really help the Poles, White Russian Jews and others in Eastern Europe who had their own undergrounds.
Plain and simple, the safety of the Demark Jews
I belive Hitler invaded denmark because he thought all Jews were bad and deserved to be killed and hurt-plus in denmark there were a lot of Jews.
The Nazis were only able to kill 52 out of 8000 Denmark Jews. This was because the Denmark government sent them to Neutral Sweden.
During World War II, approximately 7,200 out of the 8,000 Jews in Denmark successfully escaped to safety, primarily to neutral Sweden. This remarkable rescue operation was facilitated by the Danish resistance and many ordinary citizens, who helped hide and transport Jews across the Øresund Strait. The efforts of the Danish people are widely recognized as a significant act of bravery and solidarity during a dark period in history.
