Sven Olov Knutsson Lindholm (8 February 1903 – 26 April 1998) was a Swedish Nazi leader, active in far right politics from the 1920s to the 1950s. This included leading the Nazi party named Svensk socialistisk samling (SSS; literally "Swedish Socialist Union"); despite its name, this party was widely regarded as propagating a fascist/Nazi ideology.
In later years, during the 1970s and 1980s, he renounced his former anti-semitism, and stated he believed the Holocaust perpetrated by Nazi Germany had happened and that it was a crime.[1][2] He quit the Nazi movement, and became a supporter of the political left and the peace movement.[3]
