Could Sweden have withstood a German Blitzkrieg in WW2?

Arguably, Sweden managed to remain "neutral" in WW2. But the Germans did develop a plan to invade them in 1943. So, Peter Cadier has asked - Why wasn't Sweden attacked in WW2? Was it because they were secretly aligned to the Axis? And could the Swedish military have withstood an attack if they had been?
