My pleasure! Sweden and Swedish citizens was more involved in WWII then most people realize even though our country was officially neutral.
About 12 000 Swedish men volontered to go and fight to defend Finland during the Winter War, about 8 000 made it there and saw service with the Swedish Volonteer Corps before the Armistice. My grandfather was one of those 8 000.
Other Swedes saw military service with the German Heer, the Waffen-SS, the US Army, Navy and Marine Corps, the R.A.F, the British Army, the Red Army and the French Foreign Legion and probably in other branches of service and with other countries aswell.
