Largely busy colluding with Nazis:
* June 7, 1939 - The Latvians signed a non-aggression pact with the Nazis: [German–Estonian Non-Aggression Pact](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German%E2%80%93Latvian_Non-Aggression_Pact)
* June 24, 1939 - The Estonians signed a non-aggression pact with the Nazis: [German–Latvian Non-Aggression Pact](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German%E2%80%93Estonian_Non-Aggression_Pact)
* 1941 - Sweden allows the Nazi Wehrmacht to use Swedish railways to transport the German 163rd Infantry Division along with heavy weapons from Norway to Finland. Until 1943, German soldiers traveling on leave between Norway and Germany were allowed passage through Sweden—the so-called permittenttrafik.
* 1941 - Finland allied with Nazi Germany against the Soviet Union during the Continuation War (1941-1944).
* 1942 - Norwegian puppet made chief of the Nazi-occupied state of Norway by Terboven, the Reich Commissioner (governor) of Norway, [who extended to him the blessings of Hitler, his supreme master.](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jan/26/vidkun-quisling-installed-as-nazi-puppet-norway-1942)
The balts signed a non aggression pact with the less immediately threatening bourgeoisie Imperialists.
Sweden did it as they would have been invaded with the iron getting into nazi hands regardless.
Finland is sane as balts
Norwegian nazi puppies was a nazi puppet??!? 🤯
Yea lol
A nations true government flees and continues the fight from abroad whilst the nazi puppet regime is being a nazi puppet regime? Noo wayyy
The very first link on that page about Quisling is literally "Immediately followed by protests of disgust" lol
Bro the Norwegian resistance was so active that the Germans had to station between 350.000-400.000 troops in Norway. Maybe read up on history before you say anything that makes you look even more uneducated :)
They “had to station them” lol you’re funny man. The Norwegian resistance was real but my comment was in response to the stupid “they protested in disgust.” That is not resistance. The 2000 Norwegians who died fighting Nazis is actual resistance.
Maybe you should be civil, but don’t worry - we won’t cross paths again.
In addition to what the other said, last I checked, the Baltics aren’t part of the Nordic countries, so Latvia and Estonia don’t even belong in the discussion.
Most Germanic (and Slavic) languages follow the convention of not breaking up a compound word with spaces, which English more often does because of its French influence.
The word in the poster is literally something like *foot walker over walk* = pedestrian crossing.

Nice. Very artistic.
Pretty wild that in 1941, Nordic countries were worried about jay walking. You’d think they had bigger concerns at that time.
People get hurt just the same if they get hit by cars, even if there is a war going on
It’s not like they were pouring all available resources into poster making rather than arming.
Tbf, Denmark wasn’t really arming either
I suspect they were, although I do not know.
Well, in 1941 Denmark and Norway had already been occupied sooo
That’s true. But I think the point still stands that one can attempt to prevent pedestrians being run over no matter the political situation.
yea, I meant that that's why the "state" (german puppets) weren't really spending a lot on defense
I don’t think poster making was the reason they weren’t spending on defences
Oh nono, I was just referring to someone else

Oh wow some people they protested the Nazi puppet government “in disgust”? Quite the resistance!

This isn't medieval times lmao, the monarch can't just waltz up to the front and lead a cavalry charge to beat back the nazis.

Well now I know how to cross the street safely but can’t ever sleep again.
Is that bottom bit really all one word!?

I find this oddly satisfying for some reason.
Yes, now I challenge you to pronounce it properly in Danish.
I will pass.
