the royal nazi of Sweden

Long time readers of this blog will know that I feel this is the least of Sweden's WWII image problems. Despite their denials, Sweden was an active ally of nazi Germany in WWII, contributing "volunteers" to the was machine, the use of its navy, valuable supplies and overland transport of troops. It is fascinating how Bulgaria, (who contributed very little to the nazi's war effort, much to hitler's chagrin), is always considered an active member of the Axis, but Sweden, who contribulted much more, (along with fellow criminals Spain and Switzerland) is allowed the last of nazism's "big lies" - the peaceful neutral.
