The minister of of Justice, was at an unusually bad mood. The headline of Gothenburg's seafarers magazine was bound to cause immense trouble for the administration. "Nazi infiltration runs deep in the state police". The minister gripped the paper hard and yelled out to the otherwise empty office "Goddamm Lindholmers! And these unruly journalists aren't much better!". The spring had been turbulent so far, first the disappearance of the submarine Ulven in the beginning of April. Then the easter riots happened in Uppsala on the 28th of April, instigated by the nazi party commonly known as "the Lindholmers". But now the situation was turning volatile from the recent turn of events. First the Ulven was found sunken at the fifth of may whit all hands lost, sending the nation into sorrow after closely having followed the drama on the national radio during the rescue mission. And now somehow the quite startling rapport from the security police about how deep nazi infiltration and sympathy actually is running in the state police, and how they helped the Lindholmers during the easter riot, with the purpose of blaming Norwegian refugees for the debacle. The minister now found himself reading the same report[1] in the newspaper almost to the letter identical to the report he had read almost a month ago. He opened the door to his secretary Britt and said "Get me prime minister Per-Albin on the line".
