As a nominally neutral power during the Second World War, Sweden in
the early postwar era has received comparatively little attention
from historians. Nonetheless, as this definitive study shows, the
war-and particularly the specter of Nazism-changed Swedish society
profoundly. Prior to 1939, many Swedes shared an unmistakable
affinity for German culture, and even after the outbreak of
hostilities there remained prominent apologists for the Third
Reich. After the Allied victory, however, Swedish intellectuals
reframed Nazism as a discredited, distinctively German phenomenon
rooted in militarism and Romanticism. Accordingly, Swedes'
self-conception underwent a dramatic reformulation. From this
interplay of suppressed traditions and bright dreams for the
future, postwar Sweden emerged.
