Hi Oskar,
Most of the academics in Uppsala seems to have been German frienly 
before the war.

There is a debate about this in Fornvännen 2001/1 pages 35-37.

Somebody with the name of Bozena Werbart has in a paper 1999 
particularly pointed at Lindqvist as nazi sympatizer.

In the above mentioned article Evert Baudou analyzed Lindqvist and 
can't find anything Nazi friendly in his works. They are according to 
Baudou very professional.

I was a bit chocked when I saw Maja Hagermans TV-program "Germanerna" 
where she uncritically takes up the standpoint from the above 
mentioned paper.

Here follows my list of Lindqvist:

Lindqvist, Sune, Arkeologiska studier, 1932
Lindqvist, Sune, En detalj i Gudingåkrarnas problem,       Gotländskt 
Arkiv 1945
Lindqvist, Sune, Gotlands bildsteine, 1941
Lindqvist, Sune, Vendelkulturens ålder och ursprung, 1926
Lindqvist, Sune, Vår svenska guldålder, 1945
Lindqvist, Sune, Beowulf Dissectus, 1958
Lindqvist, Sune, De koniska hjälmarna hos de utomnordiska 
germanfolken under folkvandringstiden,     Fornvännen 1925
Lindqvist, Sune, Forngutniska altaren, Årsbok, Uppsala 1960-1962
Lindqvist, Sune, Heruler och daner, Tor 1963
Lindqvist, Sune, Litteratur och kritik, Fornvännen 1934
Lindqvist, Sune, Sutton Hoo och Beowulf, Fornvännen 1948
Lindqvist, Sune, Uppsala högars datering, Fornvännen 1949
Lindqvist, Sune, Sveriges handel under forntiden, Nordisk kultur, 
handel och samfärdsel 16, 1933
Lindqvist, Sune, Vendelhjälmarnas ursprung, Fornvännen 1925
Lindqvist, Sune, Ynglingaättens gravskick, Fornvännen 1921

There are of course more but these are those I have.

Tore
