Says who, you? Really? |
Judged: 1 1 1 "Sweden is well up on the list of world democrasies...?" Post that "list" here, please. You'd think you'd appreciate our having saved you from German occupation in WW II. How soon you forget. Your negative POV of us is duly noted. We have our challenges, but we're no Sweden!:) Ha en trevlig dag. |

Judged: 1 1 1 We didn't partake in WW II. We, like the rest of the world (including the United Snakes) were remaining neutral until being invaded. We and Switzerland never were. The Nazis told us that if we didn't join them in the war then they might lose and we'd all end up speaking English right now. They were right! Thanks! You too! |

Pretty brave talk from a dweeb in a country who hides behind a mountain, buys slightly used arms from France, taxes the piss out of their citizens and they take it like the sheepeople you are. Funny, I don't get pop-ups. Never have. Adverts are on the side. The Swedish Parliament, Democratic? You have no clue do you? Sweden is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary democracy form of government. Just in case you haven't noticed. Sverige är en konstitutionell monarki med ett parlamentariskt demokrati form av regeringen. Hope that helped. Oh, the WTO is looking after your best Interest too I assume. http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2007/aug/0... Surrender Monkeys. Concessions: To Nazi Germany Perhaps the most important aspect of Sweden's concessions to Germany during the Second World War was the extensive export of iron ore for use in the German weapons industry, reaching ten million tons per year. The Swedish neutrality policy meant that the government could not interfere with the trade. As Germany's preparations for war became more apparent and the risk of another war became obvious, international interest in Swedish iron ore increased. At the time, British intelligence had estimated that German industry relied heavily on Swedish iron ore and a decrease or halt in Swedish ore exports could have a disastrous effect on Germany's military efforts. This is a contentious view that has been debated in the aftermath of the war.[attribution needed] Sir Ralph Glyn, a British Member of Parliament, claimed that a cessation of Swedish iron ore exports would bring the war to an end within six months. Given that Britain had been unable to prevent the successful invasion by Nazi Germany of both France and Norway, the Swedish government was not convinced that the British could protect them and opted to continue exports. The iron ore provided much needed gold bullion, food and coal from Germany. The iron ore was transported by sea from the Norwegian town of Narvik and from Luleå in northern Sweden. These shipments were attacked by British aircraft and submarines in the Atlantic and North Sea and by Soviet submarines in the Baltic. About 70 vessels were sunk and 200 sailors lost their lives. Responding to German appeals for volunteers to fight the Soviet Union, approximately 180 Swedes enlisted in Germany's Waffen-SS, and saw combat against Soviet troops on the Eastern Front. This was a choice made by individual Swedish citizens, contrary to Swedish government policy. Their number was small compared to occupied countries, in which officials encouraged enlisting for the Eastern Front (Norway 10,000; Denmark 6,000; France 11,000; Netherlands 20,000). Many more joined the Allies, which was also contrary to government policy. With a blockade of the Skagerrak straits between Norway and the northern tip of Denmark, the Swedish merchant navy found itself physically divided. The vessels that were inside the Baltic Sea traded goods with Germany during the war, whilst the greater number of vessels was leased to the Allies for convoy shipping. Approximately 1,500 Swedish sailors perished during the war, mostly victims of mines and U-Boat attacks. |
