Who is Carl O. Nordling?
Here
is my own answer:
I
am a retired Swedish architect, living in a suburb of Stockholm. I am interested in historical research,
especially concerning controversial questions. I was born a Finland-Swede and
spent my childhood and adolescence in a couple of small towns within the Swedish
speaking belt along the Gulf of Finland. I served
in the Finnish Civil Defence in the Winter War 1939-40 and in the Finnish Coastal
Defence in the Continuation War 1941-44.
As
a result I am interested in the history of the Finland-Swedes (extended to include
the history of Finland and
Scandinavia) and of the history of the above-mentioned
wars (extended to include the history of World War II and the two great dictators
of the 1930’s). I am the author of a recent
booklet titled "The Finland-Swedes - Their importance in
history and the notables among them" (2002). Among my other interests
are the issue of Shakespeare’s identity with related problems, the fate
of Tsarevna Anastasia, the Andrea Doria disaster, the murder of Prime Minister Palme, the fate of the European Jews during WW II, etc.
