Allied diplomats arriving here from Denmark today said that no action had been taken against the Danish Jews up to the time of their departure.
They pointed out, however, that only the German Army was at present in Denmark and the military authorities were not interfering locally. The Jews, they said, were most apprehensive over developments expected to follow the awaited arrival of Gestapo agents to reorganize the country.
A majority of the 1,200 refugees in Denmark, the diplomats said, were German and Czech Social Democrats.
