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.
