Secret Summit Meetings in the Shadows of the Cold War

Secret Summit Meetings in the Shadows of the Cold War

In 1947, the organisation Stay behind, also known as the Lindencrona committee, is formed. In the event of a Soviet occupation, it is to lead the underground Swedish resistance movement. Alvar Lindencrona, a prominent figure in the business world, is appointed leader. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization contributes to the establishment of the top secret network which meets regularly in Lindencrona's twelve-storey apartment three floors up at Stureplan 4, where Sturegaleria is located today. Even Tage Erlander, the then Prime Minister, participates in the network.
