#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.

#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?

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

#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.
