Nazi Connection
The following book tells us about Sweden's crucial role in supplying Nazi Germany iron ore and military facilities. Especially notorious for their support to the Nazis were the Wallenberg family, SEB bank and SKF factory. The Swedish government was responsible for the most iron ore the Nazis received. Kiruna-Gällivare ore fields in Northern Sweden were all important to Nazi Germany.
These massive deliveries of iron ore and military facilities from Sweden to Nazi Germany lengthened World War II. Casualties of the war have been estimated at 20 million killed in Europe. How many of them died due to Sweden's material support to Nazi Germany, is not known.

Firms located in 'neutral' Sweden supported the Nazis' financial and industrial leadership. The case of Enskilda, a bank owned by the still powerful Wallenberg family, proved to be particularly interesting. Among other things, Enskilda acted as a cloak for the Nazi regime and helped important German corporations like Bosch, IG Farben and Krupp to hide their foreign subsidiaries in order to avoid confiscation by the Allied governments.

Schwedens Nazi-Gold - Neue Einsichten in die Geschäftsbeziehungen der Familie Wallenberg zu Deutschland, 13 (1998) 1, S. 183-188 (Bericht aus dem Ausland)
Gerard Aalders und Susanne Berger befassen sich mit den Transaktionen der schwedischen Familie Wallenberg - nicht allein Schweizer machten lukrative Geschäfte mit dem »Dritten Reich«, auch andere profitierten vom deutschen Eroberungs- und Vernichtungskrieg.
In the book Stockholms Enskilda Bank and the Bosch Group, 1939-1950, the relations between the Bosch Group and the Stockholms Enskilda Bank (SEB) have been examined in connection with the economic role of neutral countries and Germany during World War II. The Swedish SEB purchased Bosch Group companies outside Germany during 1939-1940, creating an association with Nazi Germany which colored SEB's international reputation during the post-war years.
The Boston Globe published Walter V. Robinson's article Sweden Probes a Dark Secret (July 6, 1997).
But a darker chapter is being written now about the Wallenberg family and its extensive business empire, as Sweden confronts dismaying new evidence that the country's wartime collaboration was more extensive than is widely known, and that the Wallenberg family profited from secret dealings with the Nazis. For instance, documents from World War II contain evidence that Jacob and Marcus Wallenberg, Raoul's cousins, used their Enskilda Bank to help the Nazis dispose of assets seized from Dutch Jews who died in the Holocaust.
Swedish Racism
One of the eyeopening books dealing with Swedish racism is Finns in the Shadow of the "Aryans" written by Aira Kemiläinen. The nature of this racism is xenophobia towards other peoples such as Finns, Saami and Baltic peoples and even distant Asians (often called Mongols by the Swedish racialists, referring to Asians).
Kemiläinen, Aira. Finns in the Shadow of the "Aryans": Race Theories and Racism. Helsinki: Finnish Historical Society, 1998. 320 pp., ill.
The founder of the organized Swedish racism was A.O. Freudenthal in the 19th century. Organized racialists awarded in the 20th century a medal named after Freudenthal. Here is a list of the Freudenthal medalists.
The Time published on September 22, 1997 James Walsh's article Unnatural Selection.
Yet the eugenics program that authorized sterilizations of 'social undesirables', begun in 1935, continued long after the war, persisting until an agency that called itself chillingly the National Institute for Racial Hygiene died a quiet death in 1976. In postwar decades when Social Democratic Sweden considered itself a citadel of enlightenment and tolerance, the country was silently pursuing principles of racial purity long since discredited in most of the world. During those 41 years, some 60,000 Swedes were sterilized as misfits who did not meet the ideal of the blond, blue-eyed, intelligent Scandinavian.
Genocide suggested by Nesselius
Swedish professor I. Nesselius suggested in 1708 - 1711 a genocide of the Finns. According to Nesselius' plan the Finns would have been replaced by the Swedes everywhere in Finland, except in Lapland. There 3 per cent of the Finns were to be left as a historical relic. The rest of the Finns would have been victims. This genocide plan was however not accepted.
Oppressed Minorities
During the 16th and 17th century Finns were lured to move to Central Sweden by the Swedish King. They became to be known as Forest Finns. Väinö Salminen describes their life of the 17th century, when the Swedes tried an ethnic cleansing authorized by the Swedish king. This ethnic cleansing was not successful thanks to Finns' strong resistance; however many Finns were killed. In this difficult situation some Finns fled to Norway or Delaware in America.

In the 16th century Sweden occupied Scania (aka Skåne), the southernmost part of the Scandinavian peninsula. The Danish inhabitants of Scania had to deal with a very intolerant Swedish regime. It denied their national rights and killed some of them. All the minority peoples (Finns, Saamis and Danes) were punished for speaking their mother tongue by the Swedish government in 1600-1960. Today's situation is better.
Bloody Cheers
The Swedish drinking toast (skål) has a rather macabre background; it originally meant 'skull'. The word has come down from a custom practiced by the warlike and terrorist Vikings who used the dried-out skulls of their enemies as drinking mugs, with the evident advantage that the mug held a large quantity of mead and could be easily replaced.
The Swedish Vikings were the terrorists of their time, who killed thousands of innocent people. The Vikings carried terror around the coastal kingdoms of Europe and Southern Finland.
The Vikings attacked and pillaged the holy monasteries, the sacred places of the Christian world. A French monk wrote about Viking raids in France:
The endless flood of Vikings is on the increase. Everywhere, Christ's people are the victims of massacre, burning and theft. The Vikings destroy everything. Towns are emptied and evil triumphs! Monks, townspeople and everyone else have been slaughtered or taken prisoner. Monasteries along the river Seine have been destroyed.
The First Anthrax Case
Archivists in a police museum in Trondheim, Norway in 1997 discovered sugar cubes with tiny vials of anthrax hidden in them. The first evidence of anthrax as a weapon follows this discovery. The sugar cubes — containing still-viable anthrax spores — were confiscated from a Swedish spy Baron Otto Karl von Rosen in Northern Norway in mid-winter 1917.
Bloody Year of 1918
In 1918 Swedish officers and soldiers were involved in the Civil War of Finland. During the fights and after them some 20 000 Finns were starved to death or executed. Among the victims were men, women, workers, soldiers and civilians.
1918 Memorial in Lahti
Tauno Tukkinen in his studies reveals an ethnic cleansing in Western Uusimaa (some 50 km west of Helsinki, in May 1918) and Forssa region in Southwestern Finland. Some 200 Finnish civilians, men and women, were executed by the Swedish battalion in Western Uusimaa. The commander of this battalion was Edward Ward.
The division of the Swedish volunteers executed 260 Finnish civilians in Forssa region in April 1918. The commander of this division was Swedish nobleman Carl August Ehrensvärd. In this case 13 of the executed were women and the youngest was only 16-year-old.
Most victims were leftist, practically all of them were Finnish. So the Swedes executed at least 460 Finns in the spring 1918.
