"When it became known that the western alliance would not be able to supply the Scandinavian countries with armaments before meeting their own pressing needs, this issue ultimately proved to be the turning point for Norway, which resigned from the talks. Denmark was still willing to enter into an alliance with Sweden, but the Swedes saw few advantages in this and the proposal fell. Norway and Denmark subsequently became signatory parties of the North Atlantic Treaty and members of NATO."
There appears to be some confusion here. What negotiations did Norway resign from? For NATO? Why then did this scuttle the Scandinavian proposal? If anything it seems as though it should have been reinforced.

[edit] "scientific kinship"
Does it have some real meaning in sentence: "Although feelings of cultural and scientific kinship with the German Empire..." or it is typo? Pavel Vozenilek 00:59, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
It's most probably not a typo, but it may be somewhat hard to express the meaning of the thought behind the expression to an anglophone reader.
I may add that I'm not particularly pleased with this article, nor with its origin Swedish neutrality during World War II. The language was much better than the factual content; a situation that I fear kept more than one knowledgable Scandinavian away from editing the articles and correcting errors and bias. I myself am for the moment not spending much time at Wikipedia at all.

[edit] Cold War
I removed the part based on Nils Bruzelius' article. It's just his speculations and the article is a strange mix of irrelevant facts and logical errors. 83.248.99.35 00:09, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
