Edited sentence: During the German invasion of the Soviet Union, Sweden allowed the Wehrmacht to use Swedish railways to transport (June–July 1941) the 163rd Infantry Division along with howitzers, tanks and anti-aircraft weapons and associated ammunition, from Norway to Finland a gross violation of international law on neutrality.However, strong pro -Nazi supporters existed amongst the Swedish Royal family and its richest family the Wallenbergs who profited mightily from their Nazi associations as well as amongst Swedish society in general.In fact, Sweden's postwar economic success is the direct result of this despicable and cowardly policy which lengthened the war and resulted in millions of additional deaths on both sides , ,.Regrettably, more recent research has revealed Sweden to have been a de facto Nazi ally who benefitted from not having fought but instead having engaged in massive war profiteeering from selling iron ore and manufactured products to Nazi Germany.The Swedish navy also escorted Nazi freighters so that allied planes could not ban ore shipments, not only a violation of neutrality but an open admission ally status to Nazi Germany.These recent historical discoveries as well as the revelation that Nazi troops were allowed free passage across Swedish territory have resulted in a new conclusion by historians that Sweden was in fact a Nazi ally during WWII
