While much previous research has focused on the propaganda war in Swedish cinemas, including both newsreels and feature films, little attention has been devoted to the clandestine film screenings that were organized by member clubs, friendship societies and other associations throughout the course of the Second World War. During the war, both Nazi Germany and the Allies invested heavily in propaganda in neutral Sweden. The battle for hearts and minds involved widespread dissemination of propaganda, but Stockholm also became a veritable hot spot for espionage, as well as intelligence gathering on enemies’ propaganda efforts. Using previously neglected material from the Swedish Civilian Security Service’s counter-espionage, as well as material from the British Foreign Office and MoI, this chapter studies the media production of the British Legation in Stockholm and tracks the circulation of British film propaganda in Sweden during the Second World War.
