  Per Albin Hansson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Per Albin Hansson (October 28, 1885–October 6, 1946), leader of the Swedish Social Democrats, was Prime Minister in four governments between 1932 and 1946, including the coalition government which was formed during World War II, and included all major parties except the communists.
During the start of the war, fearing a German invasion, Per Albin gave in to Hitler’s request of allowing German troop transports on Swedish railways to Norway, that had already been invaded and occupied by the Nazis, and to Finland.
Hansson died in Stockholm on 6 October 1946 of a heart-attack he suffered while stepping off a tram at the Ålstens Gård station, after traveling home, as he always did, as an ordinary passenger on a tram.

A week earlier the American General Major in the Army Air Force Frederick Anderson had visited Sweden and finally managed to talk Per Albin Hansson to take side and join the Allies'.
I guess it's quite relevant to point out as well that most German soldiers in the calm Denmark were not really "crack elite troops" but rather too old to serve at the front reservists, so I am not sure how many of these Germans actually had seen action, or how effective killing machines they were.
Per Albin Hansson counted with that there would be no need to actually invade, or if it happened that the Germans would surrender quickly and that losses would be low, public opinion wouldn't have allowed a bloodbath.
