During World War II, Danish citizens and resistance groups organized a remarkable effort to save their Jewish population from Nazi persecution. In October 1943, when the Nazis began rounding up Jews in Denmark, many Danes helped by providing shelter and transportation. Fishermen and boats were used to ferry Jews across the Øresund Strait to neutral Sweden, where they would be safe from deportation. This operation resulted in the successful escape of approximately 7,200 Jews, showcasing the courage and solidarity of the Danish people.

Sweden created a handkerchief that the Danish Jews used for wearing off the dogs sense of smell. You have to read the book "Number the stars". It tells you all about it.

How did the Danish fighter help the Danish Jews?
Not excactly an expert. But they did quiet a few things fx: -Blowing up the German train track and stopped the transportation to the KZ- camps. -Sailed the Jews from Gilleleje to Sweden. As I said I am not an expert but these are few of the things they did ^^
Was it the danish who hid the Jews?
No, the Danish Jews escaped by boats to Sweden and stayed there during the rest of the war (apart from a small minority going back to Denmark to join the resistance). I assume you don't refer to the few days - maximum weeks - that Jews would have to be in hiding (from the disclosure of the deportation plans) until they could get on a boat to Sweden - in that waiting period they would of course be hidding by Danes.
