As a Norwegian I just can’t let that one slide on by. Sweden was not neutral, more like non-belligerent. Like the US vs UK and the lend-lease deal before Perl Harbour. Pretty much the same idea, except they sided with the Germans. They let the Germans transport artillery and fresh elite troops on Swedish state rail to the front in Narvik, Norway. (a map may help at his point if your WWII geography skills are a bit rusty). The net of it is that they helped the Germans fight British, French, free Polish and Norwegian troops, and securing this northern front.
They turned back a lot of refugees on the border between Sweden and Norway. Quite a few Jews were turned back at the border and ended up in Gestapo's hands before being sent to Germany and the camps. Of course all that changed after Stalingrad. The police troops stared recruiting among the Norwegian refugees in the summer of 43.
There is more than one reason for most Norwegians being enthusiastic about membership in NATO after the war. If you can’t trust your bigger neighbour; you’d better have a friend with the biggest stick around…
I forgot to reply to the topic, I’ve got a k98 for taking deer and it does a decent job…
