Why were Switzerland and Sweden surrounded by countries under German control but not under German control themselves?

Switzerland and Sweden are both neutral countries (and were in WWII), so they didn't take sides in the war. This means they didn't support (economically or in any way) the allies (USSR, US, UK, France) OR the axis (Germany, Italy, Japan)

How are Americans treated in Sweden?

Americans are treated alternately with disdain and contempt....but then again, so is any outlander who comes to Sweden. All Swedes know English, as they are taught it as a mandatory subject in school from a very young age -- plus its the official second language of the country. However, Swedes only speak it very begrudgingly, even if you are about to spend $1000 shopping in their store. Also, while Sweden has spent multi-million dollars on trying to attract tourists, they don't do anything to help them while they are in Sweden. There is almost no signage or information in English (and I'm not saying English here because I'm American, its because there are hundreds of languages the world over, but pretty much everyone knows English, and the British Empire can be thanked for that), and while the Swedish tourism sites will tell you to take the train everywhere, the train websites, signs and announcements are all in Swedish. Granted, the intro to the sites *can* be switched to English, and there are a few train cars that have the marquis in English also, but for maps, directions and guides and such, it all switches right back to Swedish -- it's the same for the local attractions. And even if you manage to figure out how to purchase a ticket for the train or an attraction\event online or by cell phone, the confirmation and instructions will be sent to you in Swedish.

So, you manage to get here and to the attraction of your choice despite drowning in Swedish, and you want to find a good place to eat. Asking people around you, shopkeepers, or attraction attendants is a crap shoot. One time you might get lucky and someone is happy to help you, the next time, someone will give you wrong information on purpose because it's faster and they can stop speaking English...the third alternative is that they point and tell you there is stuff over there and good luck. I've encountered all of these scenarios while in Sweden, and I'm not even a tourist. I live here now because I married a Swede, and even my spouse is disturbed when he witnesses this behavior from fellow countrymen. The Germans and the French are actually more hospitable.

What is known about the Australian Aboriginal skeleton moved to Sweden?

A Swedish anthropologist, Eric Mjoberg, undertook to remove Aboriginal bones from the Kimberley region of Australia between 1910 and 1911. Initially only interested in collecting flora and fauna specimens for research, he soon became obsessed with the Aborigines. Mjoberg is believed to have bribed Aborigines to take him to the bones in sacred burial sites, where he then desecrated the sites by stealing the bones, and smuggled them out of the country by passing them off as kangaroo bones. In 1912 and 19131, Mjoberg returned to Australia, where he illegally procured some bones from Aboriginal sites near Urandangie in Queensland, Bermagui in NSW and Camperdown in Victoria. The skeletons - 18 boxes altogether, containing the bones of around 25 Aborigines - were held in Sweden's Museum of Ethnography and the National Museum of World Cultures. The bones have since been returned.

Did the Nazis take over Denmark Sweden Norway Finland Poland and Germany?

Yes No ! Right, let's do these in turn: Denmark was occupied in 1940 when the Germans launched Op Weserubung, the invasion of Norway. Sweden was Neutral throughout WW2. Norway was occupied by the Germans in 1940 to forstall British intervention. As a result Chamberlain resigns May 10th when the Germans attack France. Churchill becomes British PM. Finland fought against Russia in the 'Winter War' of 1939 and was aided by the Germans. Poland was invaded by Germany in September 1939 (& also by the Russians subsequently) which brought Britain & France into the war. & yes, of course, the Nazis were in power in Germany from 1933 to 1945.
