Improvement needed

[edit]

This article needs to be improved: More importance is given to the support given to Germany during WWII (which is -at best- anecdotic); than to the fundamentals of his legal theory (which is the reason most people looks up his name in an encyclopedia). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.229.245.168 (talk) 17:25, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

His pro-german stance in the 1930s and 40s must not be overlooked

[edit]

This article must clearly state who he really was. Olivecrona was known for his pronounced nazi sympathies, and justified the position scientifically: for him law was created by the legislator, and the origin of law is power. His wife, the writer Birgit Lange, supported his views and the couple actively participated in the social debate. In 1940, his pamphlet England or Germany, published in the darkest days of the war, argued that England had lost its claim to leadership in Europe and that the future required acceptance of German hegemony.
