Eric von Rosen

Count Carl Gustaf Bloomfield Eric von Rosen (2 June 1879 in Stockholm – 25 April 1948 Skeppsholmen, Stockholm) was a Swedish honorary doctor, patron, explorer, ethnographer, prominent figure in the Swedish upper class and a leading figure in Sweden's own national socialist movement in the 1930s.

The pair had first become acquainted when Göring was flying Eric von Rosen in bad weather from Stockholm to Rockelstad Castle, at the lake Båven in Sörmland, Sweden.

It is also found in the hunting lodge he commissioned Ivar Tengbom and Ernst Torulf [sv] to build in what is now Jaktstuguskogen Nature Reserve, in 1909.

The aircraft, a license manufactured Morane-Saulnier MS Parasol/Thulin D, was marked with his badge, a blue swastika on a white background.

[4] Göring had noted the swastika during his stay in Sweden and at von Rosens' castle (forged into a metal piece at the fireplace).
