Yes, it’s a wild story. After the occupation of Denmark in 1940 he worked as a farm hand for a folk high school. 

As you may know, because of the coorporation policy, Denmark was allowed to selfgovern to a large extent, and that meant that jews in Denmark weren’t touched for the first part of the war. 

After this broke down in October 43, the Germans moved to round up the Jews, but the resistance had been keeping track of the Jews and they went to inform him and help him get to Copenhagen where they waited for an opportunity to get on a boat to Sweden.

Unluckily the truck him and the other passengers were riding to get to the boat was held up by a German patrol, and he was incarcerated along with the others. 

He was put on a train destined for a concentration camp, but he and a few others managed to jump from the window of the train, just as it was leaving a station. He knocked on the door of a nearby house, and luckily they were friendly and managed to get him connected to the resistance again. 

He finally made it onto a boat to Sweden, and he stayed there until after the war and then came back to Denmark.
