add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the politics of Scandinavian countries. During 1939, just before the World War II, these countries opted for a neutral opinion. Sweden had a small but efficient navy and the nucleus of an air force; Denmark and Norway had only some antiquated coastal batteries a few patrol vessels. With the Eastern and Western blocs marshaling their forces, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark are under some pressure to declare their positions. The government is convinced that an overwhelming majority of the Swedish people do not wish to join, any bloc of the great powers, be it by an explicit pact of alliance of by silent understanding or common military action in the case of a conflict.
