At a conference in 1993 outside Oslo (Norway), former Director of Central Intelligence and later Secretary of Defense James Schlesinger brought up the existence of a Swedish “dual state”. We had talks at lunch and on a two-hour car trip back to Oslo. He made a distinction between the more “neutralist” “Political Sweden” and some senior military officers, a “Military Sweden”, that in case of a war was planning for the United States to come to Sweden as soon as possible. His statement on the “two Sweden” had some impact on my research.
