HISTORY:
Nordic Youth, originally National Socialist Workers Youth was a Nazi youth organization belonging to the National Socialist Workers Party, founded in 1933.
After an attack on Clarté, the Nordic youth in 1939 changed their name to the Youth Movement Wasa, but again took the old name in 1941. The press agency was called Stormfacklan (from 1939 Young People). The leader was Arne Clementsson, until he was excluded retroactively because of the attack on Clarté. Subsequently, Sven Olov Lindholm, the party leader in the parent party, was also official leader of the youth organization.
