one is certainly sweden. as my grandpa and many others in the resistance had to escape to them "cowards"..... a lot of elders still hate swedes since they didnt help us up front. They did help us "undercover" though.
I had to look it up though....
Some of the countries that were neutral in WW2 were Sweden, Switzerland and Paraguay.
Less famously: Lichtenstein, Monaco, Andorra, Turkey, Nepal, Afghanistan, Yemen, Bhutan, Spain, Portugal.
More input:
No European country remained neutral. Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland all worked to some extend with the Axis.
Bad input! Completely mixing up things, neither Sweden nor Switzerland worked together with the Axis. Nowadays it has been proven that some industrials and bankers of those countries (they weren't the only ones) did deals with germans. There were clashes from 1939 to 1945 between german and swiss fighters... doesn't really sound like cooperating, does it?
Although Portugal did continue trade with the Axis during the war, they also allowed the Allies to use certain airfields within their jurisdiction for operations against the Axis Powers.
There was one other European country that remained neutral in WWII: the Republic of Ireland.
NB Ireland did not become a Republic until 1948.
Switzerland allowed German troop trains to transit Swiss territory.

didnt know about Paraguay. Didnt even know that so many South American countries must have been into it?
Thanks for making me look up a good question.
CA's (Heavy Cruisers) Norfolk and Dorsetshire. HMS Dorsetshire finished her off with a spread of Torpedos.
Scuttled off Montevideo was Graf Spee, after action with HMS Exeter, Ajax, and Achilles.
What was the Royal Navy airstrike in 1940 that inspired the Japanese to attack Pearl Harbor? If you know the ship that launched it I'll buy you a virtual pint (Hint - I used her for a sig for a few weeks).

Fairey Swordfish off HMS Illustious attacked the Italian fleet at anchor in Taranto, sinking 3 battleships & a cruiser.
In May 1943, Lancaster Bombers from 617 Squadron attacked dams on the Eder River in Germany, using a specially designed bomb...............what made the bombs so unique?
