Actually, Lando Calrissian in Empire is a pretty great example of how Swedish neutrality was during the war.
*You said youd leave us neutral!* *Im altering your neutrality, pray I dont alter it any further.*
Their refusal to help Norway when they got invaded will always rub me the wrong way. . . Also, one important distinction I think is how Sweden had some relative strength to Nazi Germany: The Swedish navy wasn’t that much weaker surface fleet wise than the Kriegsmarine at some point. Indeed the Germans had some bigger ships but after the Norway campaign they were severely depleted and they basically never had all of them operational. Within Sweden’s home waters their coastal defense ships with their escorts and coastal defenses would have likely won against even a couple of German battleships. So it’s like if Lando was in the same situation but personally had a squadron of large Moncal cruisers
