Norway’s Skiing Soldiers Deprived the Nazis of Atomic Bomb

Finland tried to help Norway against German occupation 1940, but realized soon that the Norwegian "Army" was just peace-loving nanny boys with two weeks of training in pea-shooting and parading. This might been the crucial moment which made Finland to fully ally with the winning side. There is a story of this expedition by one Simo Brofield: https://www-saunalahti-fi.translate.goog/arnoldus/brofeldt.h...

This article calls Norway "neutral" during the war. That is a very generous analysis of the situation.

None of the Scandinavian countries have really come to terms with the amount they assisted and gave in to the Nazi regime during WWII.

In the case of Norway, the only legal party in the country was the Nazi Party from 1942-1945 [1]. Sweden was similarly guilty, and would quickly move to pay reparations after the war. Most interestingly, this was arranged by I believe Linus Torvald's uncle (other members of his family have similar high positions in Swedish culture / history).
