The (Not So) Neutrals of World War II

"The neutral states of World War II -- among them Switzerland, Sweden and Portugal -- composed their neutrality day after day"

''Sweden was not neutral, Sweden was weak,'' said Arne Ruth, a Swedish journalist who has written a book on the Third Reich. ''Its sales of iron ore made an important contribution to the German effort. It allowed German troops and weaponry through its territory to Norway. In 1943, its government told the central bank to ignore suspicions that German gold Sweden received was looted."
