Swedes Talk Thread.

Norway also attempted to remain Neutral but were dragged into the conflict over the Altmark incident where a German ship tried to pass through Norwegian waters with British prisoners on board, the Norwegians searched the ship and claimed to find nothing so the British decided to conduct their own search and found the prisoners much to Norways annoyance (they had lucrative trade deals with both Britain and Germany). Hitler saw that Norway couldn't retain its neutrality and decided to invade thus securing the iron ore mines in Sweden through Narvik as well as having a base closer to Britain to attack from and incorporating more Aryans, this was further shown through the policy of Lebonsborn where German soldiers were encouraged to have children with Nordic women, although these women and children were ostracised following the war (Anni-Frid Synni Lyngstad of ABBA was one).

Sweden violated its own neurality by supplying Finnish troops against the Russians and allowing German soldiers access through Swedish territory as well as exporting iron ore to the Germans. According to British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, Sweden during World War II ignored the greater moral issues and played both sides for profit. However in their defence thay saved more Jews than any other country and living next door to Hitler could have been slightly intimidating.

anna-frid is half german?!? i'm never listening to ABBA again!

She's actually Half German and Half Norwegian, her mother and grandmother moved to Sweden as the war ended as they feared she would be ostracised or taken away for being the child of a German soldier

You should know about the policy of German soldiers fathering children with Nordic females, here is the picture of L3ggys father that he didn't want us to see (the one on the right):

I know good hockey players come from Sweden and lately Finland, in fact the Bruins have one of the most underrated goalies on their team from Finland.
 
Grandpappy or even Great Grandpappy is more like it! :hatsoff:

off topic but are there any black people in sweden?
Yes, just like in many other european countries threre´s lots and lots of fugitives from africa (mostly Somalia), Iraq, Iran and the former Yugoslavian countries. About 15% of the population are originally from another country.

Why save the world, when you can rule it?
Not to be rude, but what do you Swedes have to talk about? Gripen? S-tank? Leopard 2? Weather? The way you put your oil reserves in government hands which means it now guarantees all elderly swedes a decent old age as opposed to the British method of letting private companies squander it?

Oil reserves? What oil reserves? I think you´re confusing Sweden with Norway. Sweden don´t have any oil reserves.

Why would Swedes (or anyone else) talk about aeroplanes or tanks? Do you have some sort of weird military fetish or something?

Sure, just not too many. Why don't you tell me something interesting you Swedes like to talk about?

It varies for each Swede.


Myself? I don't like to talk.
