Did any partisans operate against the Germans during the war?

Germany was also dependent upon Swedish metal ore from mines in northern Sweden.

The Swedish pretense of neutrality in WW2 was utterly self-serving and immoral. And I’m of Swedish descent.

Why immoral? Because they allowed other nations’ blood to be shed to save them from subjugation.

And we’ve been learning they weren’t so neutral after all.

Sweden also provided sanctuary after the war to many Nazis. They integrated easily into Sweden’s business and social life.

This all happened a lifetime ago, and the responsible people were probably all dead by 1975. The history may be interesting, but indignation is probably a waste of time at this late date.

I imagine that if the Swedes had refused to aid Germany, the latter would have simply gone in and taken what they wanted.
