While Sweden was officially neutral, they did all they could to resist the Nazis.....in fact, most of Scandinavia did. LOL! Sweden traditionally was closely aligned with German culture and initially looked upon the developments in Germany positively at least up to the war and still much so until around 1941-42 or so, when the tragedy in Finland caught on. Your vision of Sweden doing their best to counter Nazism only holds water from Stalingrad. The Danes instantly accepted the German "invasion" with hardly a shot fired. The government in public asked the population for full cooperation with the invaders, a state of affairs pretty much remaining in place until May 4, 1945. A great many Danish entrepreneurs and large companies happily followed the official invitation to "cooperate" and made a lot of Reichmarks in the process. During any time in WW2 more Danes fought in "Frikorps Danmark" on the German Eastern Front than were active in the Danish underground operations against the German occupants. In Norway the German invaders had a tough time because the stubborn people up there on the Fjell did indeed do their best to fight back against the German invaders from a losing position. Yes, Norway was in war with Nazi Germany and they are still proud of that fact and deserve to be that. Taro (a Swedish subject)
