Throughout the war, Allied bomber crews damaged during missions over occupied Europe frequently attempted to reach neutral Sweden as a safe haven when their aircraft could not return to Britain. This video draws on records from Imperial War Museums, the National Archives, and BBC History to tell the story of Sweden’s careful diplomatic management of arriving Allied airmen, balancing official neutrality with meaningful humanitarian assistance that eventually returned thousands of airmen to Allied service or home.
