npub12e5auypreqtnt9htapxdm5cmhjfjm8u54hq4z0rce2qyv57v752sg5d0su (npub12e5…d0su) They never disavowed those ideas and postwar Iceland was extremely isolationist and racist. To the point where a core requirement for the US military base was that the US would never post people of colour there
Also the postwar period is the only time in Icelandic history when tear gas was used on protesters. The police chief that issued the command was a former Nazi youth movement member
So, while they weren’t still flying the Nazi flag, it certainly looks like they had those views
