“Who cares if he was shot?”
- I’d claim any truly Western family would care slightly more about his fate than you seem to do.
That relative of mine took part in defeating Russia.
In my eyes, he was a hero.
Who needs Russia?

I’M NOT HIS FAMILY. That’s the point. The fact that you have a relative killed decades ago by communist scum doesn’t mean the Swedes should have climbed into bed with Nazi scum. Stop making excuses for what the Swedes very knowingly did.
“That relative of mine took part in defeating Russia.”
How does excuse your nation’s collusion with the Nazis? You keep throwing these familial factoids as if they some how matter. They don’t.
“In my eyes, he was a hero.”
Again, how does that excuse Sweden serving the Nazis? How EXACTLY? Who you consider to be a hero in no way changes what your people did.
“Who needs Russia?”
Who needs Sweden? As a ‘neutral’ who served the Nazis Sweden was all but useless in WWII. What is Sweden really worth now? How many nations has Sweden ever freed? None. How many nations’ freedom will Sweden fight for today? None...except it’s own...and probably not even that if the fight looks tough.
But that’s okay, if need be, we would come to Sweden’s rescue. After all, as is well known and often ignored by the punt minority of Swedish chest thumpers, the US government secretly promised in the early 1960s to rescue Sweden’s weak butt if the Soviets invaded. This was kept secret until the 1990s so as not to embarrass the Swedish weaklings in front of their own people.
