WI: Sweden joined Axis in WWII?

[SgtRL-3]

Suppose that in 1918, for one reason or another, the Red won the Finnish Civil War, joined the Soviet Union in 1922, and Sweden gained Åland in the process of intervening in the Finnish Civil War. By 1939, Stalin had begun to make territorial claims and armed threats against Sweden, cutting off the Åland Islands and the northeastern part of Sweden.
After that, the domestic revanchists in Sweden took control of the government and joined the Anti-Comintern Pact, calling for the creation of a Greater Sweden that included Norway, Finland, and St. Petersburg. Sweden occupied Norway in 1940 in cooperation with German forces and invaded the Soviet Union from the northern front the following year.
What would such an Axis Sweden bring to the situation of World War II and the subsequent Cold War?

With a Swedish contingent, perhaps Siver Fox might work and Murmansk might fall, (perhaps the SS nord is kept as part of AGN or AGC for security, and the Swedish division is more competent. Perhaps with the Swedish military and diplomatic support the Finns cut the Murmansk railway in 1942 at least.
I can't see a course of World War 2 changing thing happening though. Perhaps Swedish support might help the Finns resist the Summer 44 Russian assault, but regardless both Finland and Sweeden are going to be looking for a way out once September 44 happens.

Some interesting post war changes might be happening in Scandinavia for the cold war though.

In the long term, nothing changes, except that Finland 99% will become a satellite of the USSR.

This would also at least make a campaign to land in northern Norway a viable strategic plan.

Well, ITTL Finland was already a SSR of the Soviet Union in 1922.

If Finland went Red already in 1918, then the butterflies for the 20s and 30s would be manifold. It would be unlikely we would see WWII along the OTL lines, or with OTL leaders. The war might well be delayed or avoided, even Nazi Germany as we know it might be avoided, etc.

Leningrad falling in 1941, has large implications on Barbarrosa, opening of the Baltic, new axis with its own railroads against Moscu, North Army Group is gree for other enterprises, Leningrad factorys by themselves are an important butterfly...

I'm sorry, I didn't notice. In this case, I doubt that after the war, any of the Scandinavian countries will be as successful as OTL
