Pepparkakor med hakkors

Christmas cakes with swastica drawn upon.Another more notable was a number of priests (eg Kihlén i Rute, one in När, as portrayed by Göte Nilsson, and Beijer Regimentist in Visby), several traders, a couple of post officials, a couple of teachers, a carmek, a former Salvation Army soldier and SSUs (ssu party) and a couple of moorers. Several that can be documented for nazisupport became church hosts and in their backs, the women baked gingerbread cookies with Swasticas. Besides this, mention is also made of how Cementa’s site manager Arendt de Jounge, in the autumn of 1933, used the right party’s local party meeting to regret that here in Sweden we could not use the same brutal methods against insane workers’ movement that had been used in Germany in the same year. |
Gotlandsbolagets chef gav rabatt åt nazisterCG Ekman var med i Riksföreningen Sverige-Tyskland samt gav rabatt till de “trekvartsbruna” SNU, då de hade läger vid Toftabaden. Vidare fanns en kommunalordförande i Dalhem, och att en nazist senare blev folkpartistisk fullmäktigeledamot i Slite. |
Gotland Company Head gave discounts to nazistsCG Ekman was a member of the Swedish Association Swedish-Germany and gave a discount to the “three-quarter” SNU, when they camped at Toftabaden. There was also a municipal chairman in Dalhem, and a Nazi member later became a parliamentary parliamentary member of Slite.

“livlina” från BaltikumMen viktigare är nog att den “livlina” som efter kriget organiserades från Baltikum och västerut bland annat hade stöd av skollärare Nilsson i Hangvar och PH Lovén på Hästnäs. |

The lifeline history is maybe a explanation for the Russians sending a tortedo from a submarine to sink the the Swedish Hansa killing 80+ people. Another rumor on Gotland.
I am working on a article about Hansa.
