I’ve seen an excerpt from an official phrase guide for use by Swedish soldiers when interacting with Finns during the second world war era. The phrases for chatting to women were basically pickup ones like ”you have beautiful eyes!”, and the ones for talking to men were like ”Do you want to fight?!”, ”Hands off my girl you bastard!”

That certainly fits some of the Swede/Finn stereotypes in SATW.
