I visited a Norwegian Underground Museum in Oslo a few years ago... this is where i am getting this info from.

Neutral...

Sweden Allowed the Germans to walk through their land to attack Norway..... which was important because Norway's airstrips would provide good cover from British Airplanes.... as well as provide Germany with a stepping stone to attack Britain.

This is a point of resentment of the Swedes by many Norwegians.

However, Swedes and the Swedish government were also instrumental in allowing thousands of Norwegian under-grounders and citizens to escape the country into a safe haven.
