When the Nazis ordered all Danish Jews to wear yellow armbands with the Star of David, King Christian went for his morning ride wearing a yellow armband. Soon, most Danes were wearing armbands.
The Danes are exceptional people, but the King wearing a yellow star was a myth. However, the Danes saved most, if not all of their Jewish citizens. Whole villages and towns risked their lives to hide the Jews, and amuggled them out to neutral Sweden (or Switzerland? I always got them mixed up.)
