[4] Furugård's two older brothers, Sigurd and Gunnar, also occupied key posts in the party leadership.

[9] Furugård sought to organize meetings with Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels as invited speakers in March 1931.

[1] The plans were however foiled as the Stockholm police chief Eric Hallgren refused to issue a permit for the meetings, fearing riots.

The party had wanted to organize an armed SA march through the city, but the local authorities refuse to give their permission for such an activity.

Instead a propaganda meeting was held indoors in connection with the party congress, with Lindholm as the key speaker.

[12] In the backdrop of the elections, internal dissent over Furugård's lifestyle and management of party finances simmered.

The conflict emerged from a dispute between Lindholm (who had a somewhat more leftist approach) and the Göteborg party branch (in the hands of the more conservative elements).

[15] On January 13, 1933, Furugård expelled Lindholm and his followers from the party, after a chaotic meeting of the Great Council.

[15][18] In the midst of the split, confusion arose amongst many local branches, which were unsure to which party they would remain affiliated.

The situation was particularly chaotic in Skåne where a number of party branches regrouped as a group of their own, the Swedish National Socialist Unity.

[14] Following the split, SNSP and NSAP competed with each other to gain the support and recognition from both the Swedish electorate as well as their German counterparts.

Eventually NSAP would consolidate its position as the largest National Socialist movement in Sweden.

[19] In September 1933, Furugård visited Germany, in a move to ensure continued German support for his party.

[9][10] After the split, Furugård was approached by Malte Welin (a character with bad reputation in National Socialist circles in the country at the time).

[27] Another important organ for the party after the split was Klingan ('The Edge'), published from Linköping by Rolf A. L. Nystedt, with a handful of issues per year 1934-1935.

[29] In 1933, a daily newspaper for the Southern District of SNSP was launched, Skånska nationalsocialisten ('Scanian National Socialist').

[30] Likewise a single issue of a new organ for the Western District was published from Göteborg, Västsvenska nationalsocialisten ('West Swedish National Socialist').
