Per Claes Sven Edvard Engdahl (25 February 1909 – 4 May 1994) was a leading Swedish far-right politician. He was the leader of Sveriges Fascistiska Kamporganisation, SFKO (Sweden's Fascist Struggle Organization) during the 1920s. Born in Jönköping, he came from a conservative family with a strong military tradition.〔Rees, p. 114〕 He attended Uppsala University where he studied philosophy.〔 ==Fascism== Engdahl began his political career as an independent whilst a student in Uppsala, advocating a fascist-influenced policy of his own creation which he called ''nysvenskhet'' ('new Swedishness'). An attempt was made in 1932 to incorporate his group into the newly formed ''Nationalsocialistiska folkpartiet'' of Sven Olov Lindholm (a pro-Nazi party) although Engdahl resisted their overtures.〔Hagtvet, p. 727〕 As an ideology, ''nysvenskhet'' supported a strong Swedish nationalism, corporatism, anti-Semitism and anti-communism as well as a cult of personality around Engdahl himself. It placed an emphasis on racial nationalism, advocated the Madagascar Plan, and called for the replacement of the existing Swedish parliament with a corporatist body elected on an occupational franchise.〔 The policy overtly rejected Nazism, instead looking more towards Benito Mussolini for inspiration while also seeking to unify all groups against democracy, whether they were fascist or not.〔Hagtvet, p. 731〕 However, he is also known to have praised Hitler in comments such as: "Today (April 1944 ), we can only salute Adolf Hitler as God's chosen savior of Europe" 〔Lööw, Hélene (2004). Nazismen i Sverige 1924 - 1979. ISBN 91-7324-684-0. S. 50〕 Nonetheless Engdahl also frequently claimed that he followed neither man, arguing that his ideology was purely Swedish in nature, and as such he claimed his inspirations to be Sven Hedin, Adrian Molin and Rudolf Kjellén.〔Rees, p. 115〕 Engdahl founded his own group, ''Riksförbundet Det nya Sverige'', in 1937. Before long he merged this group into the pro-Nazi National League of Sweden, becoming deputy leader of this organisation. Adopting a policy which he described as ''nysvenskhet'' ('new Swedishness') he split from this group in 1941 to lead his own ''Nysvenska Rörelsen'' which continued to strongly support the Nazis. Before the end of the war his supporters had united in the ''Svensk Opposition'' (Swedish Opposition) which also included the supporters of Birger Furugård.〔Hagtvet, p. 729〕 The group advocated Swedish entry into World War II on the Axis side and went public with this aim in 1942,〔Hagtvet, p. 735〕 but in fact the country successfully stayed neutral. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Per Engdahl」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
