  1. TIK you left out Swedish ball bearings exported to BOTH Britain and Germany. Both combatant powers were critically dependent upon them. For Britain these bearings were critical for 40% of her aeroengine production. ( Merlins ) One hero stood up and used patrol boats to race through Danish waters to ship the critical bearings right underneath Nazi noses. After the USAAF hit German bearing production, Speer went crazy. The Swedes had both over a barrel. Sweden even shipped tungsten carbide tool bits to the USSR -- paid for by the Americans. America sent an Esso oil tanker at least once a month straight through the dual blockade to fuel Sweden. Ball bearings were the reason why.
