[" 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 National Socialist take-over in Germany 1933 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 National Socialist cause. Heinrich Himmler became a member of the board. As of 1940,the association had 40 local branches in different parts of Germany... 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. Der Norden ('The North') was the flagship of the publishing activities of Nordische Gesellschaft. Initially known as Der Nordische Aufseher, it got the name Der Norden in 1935. It dealt mainly with Nordic issues and actively tried to foster a concept of a common Baltic Sea historical and cultural heritage, based on the legacy of the Hanseatic league. The publication presented the Hanseatic period as a golden era of the region....Der Norden had a monthly edition of around 6-7000. It is assumed that the last issue was published in October 1944" - wikipedia].
