I’ll hide here, because I have a double-page interview published in one of the major newspapers of the country. I really don’t know why I accepted...

Because your honour demands it? And perhaps you want to set a good example in a time when to many hide from the tough questions?

Edit: Plotting a turn or two should take your mind away from wordly concerns.

Yeah, I’ll wrap up my last AI game (I’ve been bombing Japan to the Stone Age for six months, it’s over) and start a new one. The first turn will keep me busy.

No,no. The Swedes also haven't fought a war in many years as well.

Well. I am just supporting CW in their fight. Sweden, of course, is still neutral.

Sweden has officially not been in a war since 1814.

Many Swedes went to fight in the Winter War . . .

Some 8000 Swedish volunteers fought in the Winter War. And a lot of equipment was bought from the Swedish army and sent to Finland.

Well. I am sure that many have thought we would have been next. But the risk for that, in my humble opinion, was very low. Germany, and USSR, was at this point allies. Germany had allowed USSR to 'handle' Finland. It is doubtful that Germany would let USSR go to war, and occupy, Sweden. Germany, after all, expected to eventually fight USSR, and Germany wanted to continue to buy the Swedish iron ore.

I think we were rather good during the first years of WWII to fake that we had a good defence. And later on, when this got more dicey, we actually had a decent defence. And Germany didn't really have a lot of extra units over to invade Sweden at that point.

For example, my grandfather got called into the Army during the German invasion of Norway. He was sent to the Norwegian border. Once there he was sent to guard the border. He complained that he hadn't been given any weapon so they gave him a stick that was supposed to look as a rifle from the distance... He could, from time to time, see the German guards in the distance...

Note that one reason for the rifle shortage was because the Swedish rifles in the reserve storage had been 'sold' to Finland and had yet to be fully replaced.

Interesting story.

I haven’t read on the subject for a long time, but as far as I remember, only the Allied powers had plans to occupy the iron-mining region of Sweden, as the Germans were all too happy to buy the ore.
