We lived in Sweden for a while and the longer we lived there, the more we hated it. Does anyone remember how they behaved with Nazi Germany during World War II? There are STILL large empty stretches of Finnish Lappland because the Swedes allowed the Germans to travel North through Sweden to attack Finland from the North.
