When did I say they were allied??? I also did not imply that Sweden was cowardly... they have always been a nation of neutrality. I was relaying the fact that Norwegians were resentful for it.. right or wrong...
They also helped the underground with supplies and safe havens within their borders...
Fact is.... the Swedes let the germans walk through and get a strategic advantage over the allies.... there is going to be some resentment. Just as people resent the French for falling so easy to the Germans.
