The Nordische Gesellschaft ("Nordic Society") was an association founded in 1921, with the objective of strengthening German-Nordic cultural and political cooperation. It was based in Lübeck, Germany. The association had both German and Scandinavian members. After the Nazi Party's takeover of Germany in 1933, the Nordische Gesellschaft came under the control of Alfred Rosenberg. A new board was formed. Rosenberg's ambition was that the organization could be utilized for the Nazi cause. Heinrich Himmler became a member of the board.[1]
As of 1940, the association had 40 local branches in different parts of Germany. The association published a notable number of books and brochures which were distributed in Scandinavia.[2]
During the Second World War, it ran two publications, Pressedienst Nord and Der Norden, directed towards influencing the political debate in the Scandinavian countries towards a pro-German position.[3]
