Munckska kåren (literally "the Munck corps", formally Stockholms luftförsvars frivilliga beredskapsförening) was a Swedish secret paramilitary group founded by the retired lieutenant general Bror Munck in 1927.
[1] While nominally apolitical, it was founded to protect the Swedish state against "domestic enemies", implying not fascists or Nazis, but solely left-wing radicals.
[2] In the late 1920s, leaders of the police were affected by the Red Scare and thought they were inadequately prepared for a Bolshevik coup d'état similar to the 1917 Russian Revolution.
[1] Horst von Pflugk-Harttung, who had facilitated the illegal smuggling of arms, was expelled in December 1931.
[5] It is believed that Konrad Hallgren, leader of the fascist group, also told authorities about the illegal guns.
