"Not that Hitler's regime had anything to fear from the Swedes. Germany held the whip hand over Sweden, as over Switzerland, since both depended on Germany for their supplies of coal." He goes on to mention that Sweden's government had declared their cooperative intentions to Hitler, so invasion wouldn't have made sense.
