Its cadre was made up of members of the earlier Sveriges Fascistiska Kamporganisation ("Sweden's Fascist Combat Organisation", SFKO, initially called "Sveriges Fosterländska Kamporganisation", i.e "Sweden's pro-national combat organisation", in the start).
[1] Ideologically, the party was initially strongly influenced by Italian fascism and Benito Mussolini, but later on, the focus was shifted towards German Nazism.
[2] Konrad Hallgren, a former German officer, was one of the people who started the organization and also became the leader of the party.
In 1929 a delegation of the party, including Hallgren and Lindholm, attended the Parteitag of NSDAP in Nuremberg.
On 19 January 1930 the party split, with members under Stig Bille rebelling against Hallgren and forming the New Swedish People's League.
