A few years ago, Christer Bergström resigned from her job as a high school teacher in Eskilstuna, and instead devoted herself entirely to her great interest: World War II. In total, he has written some 30 books, all of which are in different ways about the war that went on between 1939 and 1945.

Wrote in his spare time

- I've never regretted it. When I worked as a high school teacher, I wrote books in my spare time so you can say that for the first time now I have free time and have time to spend with grandchildren, he says.

Now you are up to date with another book on World War II. Is it really needed?

- Yes, the history that was written was based on the history of the victors and despite the fact that the archives have been opened, many still do not do a full research in the primary sources. So there is a lot to tell that is not told, says Christer Bergström.

The Communist Party was banned

On March 23, 1933, the German Parliament unanimously adopted the so-called "Power of Attorney", which meant that Hitler became the country's highest legislative body and in effect made him dictator.

The Nazi Party NSDAP, however, needed a two-thirds majority for the law to be adopted, and this was solved, among other things, by banning the German Communist Party and threatening Social Democrats.

All the more extreme

- Many of the liberals and conservatives in the German parliament hoped that they would tame Hitler in that way. But what they didn't understand was that the more power he gained, the more extreme he became.

Do you think it is possible to draw parallels to what it looks like in the world today?

- Yes, we see how right-wing groups are advancing and they have an aggressive agenda. And again, there is a lot of war drums and propagated for defense wars both in one and the other country.
