Though, once a country has been conquered, it is pretty difficult NOT to do what the conqueror says (in this case, supplying iron ore and extending the war). There usually is some partisan/resistance activity (have you seen FLAME AND CITRON?), but this -- being small potatoes next to the might of the conqueror -- take much longer to get the job done.TrustMovieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01130460547029155342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481549185308465110.post-32375167538533237272011-01-31T07:43:28.322-05:002011-01-31T07:43:28.322-05:00The Swedish government was responsible for the mos...The Swedish government was responsible for the most iron ore the Nazis received. Kiruna-Gällivare ore fields in Northern Sweden were all important to Nazi Germany.<br /><br />These massive deliveries of iron ore and military facilities from Sweden to Nazi Germany lengthened World War II. Casualties of the war have been estimated at 20 million killed in Europe. How many of them died due to Sweden's material support to Nazi Germany, is not known.<br /><br /><br />The Swedish drinking toast (skal) has a rather macabre background; it originally meant 'skull'. The word has come down from a custom practiced by the warlike and terrorist Vikings who used the dried-out skulls of their enemies as drinking mugs, with the evident advantage that the mug held a large quantity of mead and could be easily replaced.<br /><br />http://syys.weebly.com/Raimohttp://syys.weebly.com/noreply@blogger.com
