5:16 That’s because Germany wanted iron ore/heavy water and other stuff. Sweden was willing to trade and there was no point to invade. Also, Sweden was respected by the Germans and it was not seen as a viable option to invade. Short answer: money.
@Hadar199110 ай бұрын
There was also another very important reason, probably more important than all what you wrote. Germany assumed that Allies will not bomb a neutral country, so the moment Germany would invade then all Swedish mines would be bombed, but as long Sweden was neutral and willing to trade with Germany, then Germany was able to import from Sweden more resources than if it was directly occupied.

5:15 The fact that Germany didn't attack Sweden had nothing to do with luck. There was simply never any reason to invade: 1) Sweden sold iron to Germany. In this case, buying was cheaper than conquering. 2) Sweden supported Finland, which was in turn allied to Germany against the Soviets. 3) At no point was Sweden powerful enough to be perceived as a serious threat to Germany.
