* Firms located in 'neutral' Sweden supported the Nazis' financial and industrial leadership. Sweden's crucial role in supplying Nazi Germany iron ore and military facilities. Especially notorious for their support to the Nazis were the Wallenberg family, SEB bank and SKF factory. The Swedish government was responsible for the most iron ore the Nazis received. Kiruna-Gallivare ore fields in Northern Sweden were all important to Nazi Germany.
These massive deliveries of iron ore and military facilities from Sweden to Nazi Germany lengthened World War II.
Scandinavian cheers = skull: the Danish, Norwegian and Swedish drinking toast (skål, also Islandic skál) originally meant skull. The word has come down from a custom practiced by the warlike 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.
The viking influence on todays scandinavian language, and in particular mentioned the danish etc word for "cheers" (skal) which came from olden day slaying of people and the associated use of the top of the skull as a drinking vessel.
* The ethnic cleansing in Southwestern Finland: some 200 Finnish civilians, men and women, were executed by the Swedish battalion.
