After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and Germany’s declaration of war on the USA, American correspondents remaining in German-controlled Europe were either forced to leave or incarcerated.1 For the world’s liberal press this turn of events meant that Sweden and Switzerland became ‘listening posts for news from Germany and its satellites’.2 For the Swedish press this meant that it was in a unique position because it could still cover Axis Europe from inside, making Swedish journalists among the very few sources of news from German-occupied areas that were independent from German propaganda.3
