| #6 Not the same "royal family" -- the current one is "royal" because Bernadotte, one of Napoleon's generals managed to get elected crown prince of Sweden. His wife was a former lover of Napoléon. Hence the Swedish royal family is really a French republican family. |

| #5 The Swedes would care if their royal family sent a representitive to Poland as part of a rememberance ceremony. |

| #4 But the Swedes have no interest in their historical dead. Reminds them that they were the aggressors on this one, I suspect. And furthermore they lost that war. But it's sad they don't even care about the fallen. They don't even care about their future; why should they care about their past? |

| #2 The Poles, at least, have some class: “Despite the fact that Sweden is no longer interested in its fallen soldiers we in Poland intend to erect a monument to them,” said Ziabka. News agency PAP reported that the Swedish soldiers will not be forgotten on All Saints’ Day – Polish farmers plan to light candles on the mass graves as a mark of respect. |
