It was staunchly antisemitic and anti-Zionist, and Sylten took up the swastika as a symbol in 1917, three years before Adolf Hitler chose to do so.

[5] Because of his interest in Jewish affairs, Sylten was used as a consultant for the national socialist authorities during the German occupation of Norway.

[4] He had some contact with other anti-Semitic publishers, such as Alf Amble who ran the periodical Vår kamp.

[6] As part of the legal purge in Norway after World War II, Sylten was sentenced to fifteen months of forced labour.
