Other key members included the businessmen Walter Borg and Ivar Hörhammer, trade unionist William Lundberg, the newspapermen Axel Åhlström and K. H. Wiik, and the university student Allan Wallenius.

As Germany invaded Åland in early March, Boldt and William Lundberg had negotiations with the Germans of their potential actions against the Red controlled Turku.
