As a Swede, we still feel a sense of national shame over the fact that the politicians at the time allowed germans to ship troops and weapons to Norway. Granted, it was a hard decision to make too since the "official neutrality" wasn't really a point of principle but rather to avoid Germany setting it's sights on Sweden too (which was ill equipped to mount a proper defense against the wehrmacht). So a lot of lives were probably saved, but it leaves an extremely bitter aftertaste. One can only hope that the unofficial support extended to Finland during the winter war, the acceptance of large numbers of war refugees and persecuted jews and participation in rebuilding efforts of what had been destroyed in many countries across Europe (since Sweden still had a lot of intact key industries after the war) can make up for it a little bit.

@BouncyStickman The feeling is mutual. We're all scandinavian brothers when all is said and done. Along with the Danes, Icelanders, the Faroese and (even though they aren't technically Scandinavian) The Finns. A personal dream of mine would be that our countries created a nordic union instead of some being in the EU while others aren't. I believe we would be able to run a much better union together due to many shared cultural values and ideals, whereas the EU is just constant bickering and everyone pulling in different directions.
