Sweden,s lend-lease

What does DAK stand for ? I know that British, Sikh and many other nationals fought along with the Germans.

Sweden has a long history in co-operating with the German war efforts, which date back to the end of WW1, when the Germans, by the Allies, was banned from developing "weapons of mass destruction", and moved their R&D, among others, to Sweden's Bofors arms factory.

Agains after WW2, the Swedes benefitted, just like the US, Russia, France, India, England, the Swiss, Spain and Argentina, from the advanced German aero nautical, rocket and arms development etc. Clearly, the first "Swedish designed" jet fighter, like any other modern jet fighter designs, the "Toennan" (the barrel), is clearly of German origin.

Since there are no trace of the 69000 Danish-Krag's confiscated by the Germans, I suspect that they eventually ended up in Russian hands ? Who knows, one day these Danish-Krags might end up on the surplus marked :)
 
DAK. Deutche Afrika Korps. The opponent in the North African Campaign where at least 1 Canadian Army officer fought and died in May 1943. Did he use any Cbraodhead equipment?
Just like Swedish equipment in Finland, in combat anything goes,if available.
