Per Engdahl
Per Claes Sven Edvard Engdahl (25 February 1909 – 4 May 1994) was a leading Swedish far-right politician. He was a leader of Sveriges Fascistiska Kamporganisation (SFKO or Sweden's Fascist Combat Organization), during the 1930s. He led and was involved in various other fascist movements in Sweden and Europe after World War II, though he never had electoral success.
He influenced the founding of far-right group Bevara Sverige Svenskt, which eventually became the modern political party the Sweden Democrats. He has gained posthumous notoriety due to his connections to IKEA founder Ingvar Kamprad.
Per Claes Sven Edvard Engdahl was born in Jönköping on 25 February 1909. He was the son of Major Sven Edvard Engdahl and Karin Håkansson. He came from a conservative family with a strong military tradition.
Engdahl attended Uppsala University, where he studied philosophy. He also took part in political debates there. He obtained a Bachelor's degree in 1930 and a PhD in 1935.
In 1937, Engdahl married Stina Elna Sofia Berglund. Near the end of his life, he lost most of his eyesight.
The Karolinska förbundet ("Caroline Society") published their 1930 yearbook in 1931, and Engdahl wrote a section on King Charles XII in it. He argued that Charles XII had a multi-faceted personality and one of the greatest men of all time.
In 1935, Engdahl published a collection of poetry titled "Stormsvept". It was reportedly well-received by major Swedish newspapers. His second poetry collection, Fast vinden ligger mot, was published in 1939. According to the biographical dictionary Svenska män och kvinnor, he was considered to have been one of the most acclaimed writers and speakers in the country until 1941, when he became a leading promoter of Nazi propaganda in Sweden.
Engdahl also used his writing to express his views. Engdahl's 1934 book Sweden in the twentieth century (Swedish: Sverige och det tjugonde århundradet) argued for a racial hierarchy and against race-mixing. The book also defended ongoing purges of German Jews in the administration and universities, with Engdahl describing it as "fully motivated" and a "sound reaction against the influence of the Jews on German cultural life". In his 1940 book Sweden's road through the centuries towards the future (Swedish: Sveriges ödesväg genom seklerna mot framtiden), Engdahl argued for the unification of the Nordic countries under the symbol of a dragon or Viking ship. He downplayed his support for Nazism in his 1945 book Sweden after the war Swedish: Sverige efter kriget, though he later admitted his support for the Nazi concept of a Volksgemeinschaft.
