[Milsurplus] Yugoslavian Straight Key (Dave Merrill)

[Hubert Miller]

I have a key by Ericsson, Sweden, and a throat mic by same firm, which came from military surplus out of Germany in the immediate postwar years.
The key is not shown in among the ones pictured on that website.
These 2 items make me wonder if Sweden, besided supplying the Reich with iron ore, also supplied some other items useful to Germany's war effort.
Come to think of it, i have a 'Directory of German Communications Equipment' which shows a large transmitter by Ericsson.
I don't necessarily blame Sweden. If they had not traded with the Reich, it's very likely that the Reich would have simply invaded and taken the country
to get the iron ore. Once Germany's military threat  faded later in the war, Sweden did shut off all iron ore exports to them.
