[edit] Nazi???

It is true WS was a member of the Nazi party, but referring him as an active Nazi is not correct. He worked for the Swedish steel group Uddeholm, and after the war he worked for Uddeholm in its office in Brazil. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.63.146.199 (talk • contribs)

• Hello Mr Anonymous Editor. If someone is a member of the Nazi-party (joined as early as 1934 and remained a member of the party during the war), I think it is correct to call that person a Nazi. Bronk 22/3 2006.

PS. The swedish wikipedia article on WS is very well sourced on this issue.

While WS was a member of the Nazi party, as proved by his marriage to a Brazilian, he did not agree with the party on the issues of nationalism or racial superiority.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.52.241.192 (talk • contribs)

Really? So did Hitler not believe his own Nazi principles because he'd worked with Jews and allied with Japan? Or were the Nazis just full of it? Or is it that there's no incompatibility between the Nazi beliefs and Sommerlath's marriage to that Brazilian lady (white like him, btw). So many questions...

[edit] Genealogy

Please provide sources on genealogy, specifically birth and families of both partents, if possible. Please also confirm that WS's father was an American. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.52.241.192 (talk • contribs)
