Du glömmer svenska volontärer som deltog i både första och andra världskriget, samt säkert många andra krig sedan 1815. Bra film dock!

[Bullen934]

@Zarataphs Jo men dem stred in officiellt som "svenskar" då t.ex svenskar som stred för Waffen SS under andra världskriget stred under tysk fana

A total of 9 bataljons was sent to Kongo and a total of 9 J 29 Tunnan(fighter) and 2 S 29 Tunnan(Reconnaissance) 1960-1964, most of the Swedish aircraft were destroyed at their base, since they were no longer needed at home and the cost of taking them all back was deemed excessive.

19 Swedish UN soldiers were killed and around 40 wounded :(
