The Swedish goverment did alot of things during the war that makes me ashamed to be Swedish.
That said it did not reflect the comon thought of swedes in general though.
Many went overseas (many thousands) to fight for the allies :-) and some (hundreds) for Adolf :-(

To keep out of the war they had to make concessions to Adolf,
so tobacco would most likely found its way to germany via sweden :-(

But then again a'm born 1960 so i'm not to blame :-)
