During World War II Swedish ships sailed for Sweden, the Allies, the Germans, the Red Cross and for some others.
Swedish merchant sailors memorialAround 1,400-1,500 Swedish sailors were killed when Swedish ships were hit by bombs, grenades, mines and/or torpedoes. (Plus or minus some hundreds - I've seen various numbers.)
500-600 Swedish sailors were killed on ships from other nations.
Around 270 Swedish ships were sunk.
