C03853 SWEDISH NS YOUTH LETTERHEAD. Sweden has had a long association with Germany, dating back to the 1000s, when German merchants created the settlement of Visby, on Gotland island, to trade with the Swedish. This association continued into the 1300s and 1400s, with the German "Hanseatic" League being the dominating force in Sweden’s commercial trade, and Germany and Sweden remained vital trading partners into World War II. No nation was completely immune to the wave of National Socialism and Fascism that swept across Europe in the 1920s and 1930s and, although Sweden officially remained neutral during the Second World War, they were Germany’s main supplier of iron ore, and permitted passage of German troops through their country while, at the same time, denying the allies a similar privilege. As with numerous other European countries, Sweden had its own National Socialist political party during the war, which favored alliance with the Germans. This 11 1/4" high by 8 3/4" wide letterhead as never been used. On the very top there is blue print that states; Nordisk Ungdon. Their logo is a shield on an angle with an M in the center. That is situated in the upper left corner of the letterhead. It comes complete with a section for the sender (Fran) and a specific area for the receiver (Till). There is also a spot to put the date. The letterhead has yellowed over time and the corners are beginning to tear. Otherwise it is in great condition.
