In the late 1960s, the Swedish Defence Staff initiated the development of a computerized command and control system that was later to be known as the LEO-system. From the mid-1970s to 1989, more than two hundred million SEK were spent on the project, which involved private computer consultants and with military staff officers acting as project leaders and customers.

Swedish Generals and ° Colonels in Gray 1861-1865 '·\ Bertil Haggman* and Lars Gjertveu+ Preface At the outbreak of the American Civil War, the U.S. census of 1860 reported 750 Swedes living in what would be the Confederate States of America. Perhaps not more than fifty joined the Confederate army and navy. The full story of all these Swedes in gray remains to be written. This modest booklet is an attempt to introduce higher officers of Swedish origin who were in the Confederate army. Of the two generals, one (Brigadier General Charles G. Dahlgren)· was commissioned by the Governor of Mississippi; the other (Brigadier General Roger W. Hanson), by a Richmond commission . It is the hope of the authors that this little booklet will encourage further research, both in Scandinavia and the United States, into the military careers of these officers and contribute to the celebration this year [1996] in Sweden and the United States of the start of Swedish mass immigration to America in 1846.

  • Surfing the Waves: Scottish Admirals in Russia in Their Baltic Context
    Suring the Waves: Scottish Admirals in Russia in their Baltic Context Steve Murdoch It has long been established, and frequently reafirmed, that the origins of the Russian navy and her distinctive Saltire insignia can be traced back to the inal years of General Patrick Gordon in his guise as Rear Admiral of the Russian navy.1 There is no doubt that after Gordon’s participation in Russia’s irst tentative naval manoeuvres off of Archangel in 1694, and the irst real amphibious operation against Azov in 1696 (in which Gordon had reverted to a land role), the Romanov dynasty attracted a notable presence of Scottish naval oficers to their cause.2 This reached something of a crescendo during the reign of Catherine the Great. Indeed, we ind that among the oficer class in the Russian navy during the eighteenth century there were admirals of all classes, as well as ships’ captains, lieutenants and numerous other oficers and men.3 Impressive as the sheer numbers of Scottish admirals in Russian service is, there is seldom an opportunity to see them in the context of wider maritime migration. And this is crucial, for without such an overview, we could ind ourselves constructing one of those uncritical histories which might over-celebrate the importance of these men and the relevance of their migration to Russia. That is not to say that they are not to be celebrated, or indeed that they were not important. It simply reiterates the obvious historical point which requires us to take a step back and view our subject matter in a different way.

  • 1 John Ericsson and the Transformation of the Swedish Naval
    John Ericsson and the transformation of the Swedish naval doctrine Jan Glete Originally a lecture for "Symposium on John Ericsson and the Revolution in naval warfare 1850-1880, Swedish National Defence College Stockholm, 14 Nov 2003. Re-written as an article, "John Ericsson and the transformation of the Swedish naval doctrine", International Journal of Naval History, 2, no. 3, December 2003 (web-publication) During the nineteenth century the Swedish navy faced both the challenge of a fundamentally new strategic situation and that of the technological revolution in naval warfare. The end result was in fact a rather happy one as new technology offered interesting opportunities for a minor navy, which had to concentrate on defence against seaborne invasion. The transformation process was however long and difficult as the formulation of a new doctrine was hampered both by strong traditions and a profound uncertainty about the potential and direction of technological development.1 This article discusses the role of the Swedish-American inventor and consulting engineer John Ericsson (1803-1889) in the transformation of the strategic and tactical doctrines of the Swedish navy. He was an important person in that process. Ericsson did not offer any lasting solution to the problems that the navy faced but, during a period when Swedish naval policy- makers were at a loss about what to do with the technological revolution, he offered solutions which proved essential as stopgap measures. Furthermore, Ericsson prestige and popularity in Sweden also

Box 38, Ra’anana 43100, ISRAEL Tel.: +(972) 54 4953039 Fax: +(972) 9 7749495 E-mail: [email protected] 4 December 2006 Your Majesty, King Carl XVI Gustaf, On 17 January 2007, 62 years will have passed since the disappearance of Swedish citizen Raoul Wallenberg, and on July 2007, 60 years will have passed since the “alleged” death of Raoul Wallenberg in Soviet captivity. I am writing to ask your assistance in requesting your country’s government to actively pursue the search for Raoul Wallenberg by: a. implementing a governmental policy in order to immediately clarify the fate of Raoul Wallenberg b. requesting from the Russian government access to all relevant files. c. asking for the assistance of the German government d. circulating the Missing in Action Appeal In 2003, the report Kommissionen om den svenska utrikesledningens agerande i fallet Raoul Wallenberg (Stockholm: 2003) came to the conclusion that research into the question of Wallenberg's fate had been far from complete, especially in Russia. The report concluded by saying “… much still remains to be done.” We all remember how King Gustaf V contributed in the appointment of Raoul Wallenberg to the Swedish Legation in Budapest. We also remember how King Gustaf V initiated a personal letter to the Hungarian Regent, Admiral Miklas Horthy, and how, as a result of the King’s initiatives, thousands of people were saved. It is extremely shameful that Raoul Wallenberg, who saved so many lives and who is believed to be alive today, is now being abandoned by the world’s powers.

  • The Performance of a Naval Hero Admirals in the Nordic Seven Years’ War 1563–1570
    The Performance of a Naval Hero Admirals in the Nordic Seven Years’ War 1563–1570 KEKKE STADIN In a biography written by a naval commander in 1899, Jakob Thordsson Bagge, the Swedish High Admiral in 1563–1564, is described as the first well-known Swedish naval hero since the Viking age (Munthe 1899, 32). This nationalistic description, typical for its time, was repeated nine years later in a popular book called “Swedish feats and great achievements” (Svenska bragder och stordåd, 1908). Bagge’s successor as high admiral, Klas Kristersson Horn, was also portrayed in these books and described as a naval hero. The late 19th century has been called “the age of hero worship” (Segal 2000, 3). This focus could explain the biographies, but these admirals were described as heroes long before the 19th century. The Nordic Seven Years’ War in the 1560s was complicated, because Sweden fought against Denmark-Norway, Poland-Lithuania and Lübeck (Sjöblom 2016, 317). Sweden’s foremost enemy at sea was Denmark, allied with Lübeck. In the first volume of Danish-Norwegian hero stories (Larsen Liljefalk, 1893) no fewer than three of the Danish high admirals in the Nordic Seven-Years’-war were presented as naval heroes: Peder Skram, Herluf Trolle and Otte Rud (Larsen Liljefalk 1893). The most famous of them was Herluf Trolle, still remembered as a famous Danish admiral. This war produced remarkably many naval heroes, celebrated in their lifetime and remembered in Scandinavia hundreds of years later (Briand de Créve- coeur 1959, Humanitas Cristiana 1990, Olden-Jørgensen 2016). In this essay I will argue that Scandinavian admirals of the 1560s were performing themselves as naval heroes and that the kings’ ambitions to become European renaissance princes made that possible.

  • The Swedish Fiscal-Military State and Its Navy, 1521-1721
    The Swedish fiscal-military state and its navy, 1521-1721 Jan Glete* Historiska Institutionen Stockholms Universitet SE 106 91 Stockholm Sweden 46-8-16 28 49 [email protected] * The research for this paper has received support from the Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation. Abstract The early modern Swedish navy was a maritime enterprise in a society with under-utilised maritime resources. The entrepreneurs were members of the ambitious Vasa dynasty, which administrated the navy as a complex organisation without participation of private maritime interests. This was a new concept of organisation of resources and it made it affordable to develop strong naval power from a rather weak resource base. The navy was a part of the dynasty's entrepreneurial activities in raising resources from an agricultural society and transforming them into instruments for political power. It was an example that organisational innovations may be of decisive importance. 1 Keywords: Early modern naval administration, fiscal-military state, Sweden, transaction costs, complex organisation, entrepreneurs JEL codes: D2, D73. H56, M13, D32 Early modern navies are normally analysed in a maritime context. In that, naval power is related to shipping, trade and colonial empires and maritime skills are central in explanations of success and failure of navies. Navies are, in contrast to armies, not regarded as instrument of rulers for political control of their subjects. Early modern states are usually supposed to have relied on private contractors for warfare because they lacked administrative competence until their own bureaucracy had matured as a result of that the armed forces became permanent.
