Background: Sweden was a neutral country during the war, and in 1945 it became an attractive destination for former Nazi soldiers hoping to escape the Allies. One such example was 150 Lithuanian and Latvian S.S. soldiers who fled to Sweden after the war. Initially the Swedish government agreed to let them stay as political refugees, but the Soviet government discovered this and applied heavy pressure to have them deported. Sweden ended up agreeing, and all 150 were scheduled for removal. Upon hearing this, the terrified soldiers protested in a number of ways including hunger strikes and even stripping off their clothes, as in the photo above. But in the end the process went through. Several were executed immediately upon arrival and the rest sentenced to hard labor in Soviet gulags. This event is known as the baltutlämningen in Sweden.

      Switzerland still proudly holds gold bars today made from the melted teeth of dead Jews.

      Sweden could have cut off the Germans from their source of iron and stopped WWII in its tracks. But didn't.

      Finland straight up invaded Russia shoulder to shoulder with literal Nazis, and if you mention this to them today, they'll tell you you're Russian disinformation.

      France collaborated...Denmark was a model Nazi province...Holland straight up raised divisions for the SS. Mention this to any of them and get banned immediately. Europeans can't deal with the truth.

        I mean, I'm technically a Yankee in the sense that I live there, I don't get to denounce anyone else... who is actually pure enough to force an apology out of the collaborators?
