I have a low opinion of the Swedes. They are the ones that let the Germans pass through to devastate Norway in WWII. Also, only libs drive Volvo's.

This isn’t news. As for the Swedish Royals, the Crown Pricess just married her gym coach. Pomp rots the mind.

I think you mean the Germans were allowed to pass through to get to their Finn Allies to attack the Soviets?

Don't forget the Soviets also let the Kreigsmarine use their naval bases near Murmansk to invade the northern cape.
lest we forget that what does Volkswagen mean? It means "People's Car" all the little people would drive it on the Autobahn while the Party members would be pimp'n the Mercedes!

Sweden is now the Number One capital of rape in Europe. This is because there are no immigrant rapists in Sweden--they are all citizens now. Sweden will probably become the first Islamic state.

What the Swedes stole from the Jews via the Nazis was a drop in the bucket compared to what they made from the Bolsheviks.
Sean McMeekin book - History's Greatest Heist: The Looting of Russia by the Bolsheviks, goes into great detail.

Have to laugh ~ the Swedes didn't "Let" anyone do anything. The Germans told them to "Git out the way" and that was that.
You have to recall that Scandinavia had been, in general, heavily involved in the War Before The War (part of which was conducted by Joe Stalin against Finland). The Finns lost a chunk of country, and they also had to turn on the "visiting" Germans and kill a bunch of them to get them to leave (as part of the deal). They fled North to Norway.
One of our history minded Freepers has been running a series on how WWII developed ~ he brings in old NYT, et al, headline stories. Been lot of interesting stuff there.
Back when the Finns were facing down the Russians you had the some interesting support situations with the Brits and other Western Europeans providing weapons and money to the Finns, right along with the Nazis.
Makes for some strange reading ~ well worth doing ~ doesn't make the Scandinavians moral paragons but you know what, you had some small countries dealing as best they could with some very large countries ~ that they survived is amazing.

“BTW, Volvos are made by Ford. Real Americans drive Fords and Volvos these days.”
Ford sold Volvo to Chinese interests, sadly.
At least Saab remains in European ownership hands, for what that is worth. They will still have a very tough go, with models always growing aged.

You’re just sore because the Germans blocked the planned British invasion of Sweden through Narvik.

At one point, the British and Italians were on one side, the Germans and Soviets on the other.

And then it got really complicated.
There are Europeans who understand completely the value of the American postwar occupation and the imposition of NATO.

Being a neutral means never having to say you are sorry. Switzerland did much the same. When you are a neutral and have an overwhelmingly strong neighbor, its nice to be nice. The USA made the same Borfors anti aircraft guns under a license from Sweden. We paid the fees all during the war.
