what if during the winter war Sweden joins Finland against the soviets could Finland and Sweden win against soviets?how much difference could Sweden make in the war against soviets?
Unless it manages to drag in the WAllies or Germans, I don't see it making any difference in the final outcome when the Soviets stop with their half-assed November-December campaigns that ended in such disaster, marshal their forces, and bring down the sledgehammer at the start of February. It might add another week or two, maybe even a month, but ultimately the Soviets weight in manpower and material far outstrips that of Sweden and Finland combined.
The foreign political implications of it are more important than the might of the Swedish military. If the Swedish are in the war from the beginning, a successful Allied intervention becomes much more likely than IOTL as Sweden would pretty much have to accept Allied troops being moved through its railways to the front in Finland (in reference to the other thread the OP started today). Sweden was always the bigger obstacle for the Allied intervention than Norway.
