Sweden and Switzerland are both permanently neutral countries. In order to defend themselves in the war, some small countries will express their neutral stance and protect themselves from aggression by both sides of the war. Sweden is a permanent neutral country, but it did many things that violated the rules during World War II.

Secretly helping Germany

Although Sweden showed that it was a neutral country during World War II, it secretly sold raw materials such as ore to Germany at that time. And earned more than 30 tons of gold from it. Although Germany is the initiator of World War II, its own war resources are not rich, so it needs the support of the allies, and Sweden is the source of German iron ore.

Then you may say, why should Sweden be nice to Germany despite the opposition of the world? This is because the Soviet Union once invaded Finland, Sweden's neighbor, so Sweden didn't trust the Soviet Union. When Germany was gaining momentum, he chose to join the German team, so Sweden has been secretly exporting to Germany with its rich mineral resources. This not only avoided the invasion of Germany, but also got a monetary reward.

The British navy is prohibited from passing through the Swedish Strait.

Although the Swede is a neutral country on the surface, it is well known that he not only sold iron ore to Germany, but also let Germany withdraw from Norway. At the same time, he also banned the Royal Navy, the enemy of Germany, from passing through the Swedish Strait. These actions are enough to show that Sweden has violated the basic principle of neutrality. Moreover, after the defeat, a large number of German refugees also poured into Sweden to seek asylum.

Sweden conducts electronic reconnaissance on Russian troops.

This incident did not occur during World War II, but in recent years, the Swedish Air Force conducted electronic reconnaissance on Russian bases many times, but it was intercepted by the Russian Air Force in time every time. Originally, this kind of behavior in Sweden did not constitute a violation of the principle of neutrality, but recently the Swedish Air Force began to become active again. He directly used the air bases of other countries to conduct electronic reconnaissance of Russia in areas far from home. This time, Sweden has no reason to prevaricate Russia with self-defense words. This time, Sweden's behavior is really exaggerated and violates the principle of becoming a permanent neutral country.

Sweden participated in the no-fly operation in Libya.

In addition to the above two violations of the neutrality rule, there was another time when Sweden directly participated in the NATO-led no-fly operation in Libya, which completely violated the rules and was obviously aimed at Libya. So Sweden is digging its own grave. If he breaks the rules repeatedly and will be involved in the war one day, there is no reason for him to enjoy peace as a neutral country.
