EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in the history of Swedish-German relations, as two esteemed figures engage in a deep conversation during a meeting of the Swedish-German Society on the 21st of October 1937. The individuals depicted are Franz Ritter von Epp (1868-1946), a distinguished German military officer, and Sven Hedin (1865-1952), a renowned Swedish explorer and geographer. Franz Ritter von Epp, hailing from Munich, served as a regular officer in the Imperial German Army, attaining the rank of Major General. His military career spanned several decades, and he played a notable role in the Bavarian military during the First World War. After the war, he became involved in right-wing politics, joining the German Workers' Party, which later evolved into the Nazi Party. Sven Hedin, on the other hand, was a celebrated Swedish explorer and geographer, best known for his extensive travels in Central Asia. He led numerous expeditions, and his most notable achievements include mapping large parts of Central Asia and discovering several ancient cities. Hedin's explorations helped advance the scientific understanding of the region and earned him numerous accolades, including the Royal Geographical Society's Founder's Medal. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, as these two influential figures exchange ideas and engage in a dialogue that likely touched upon various topics, including their respective fields of expertise and the political climate of the time. The image serves as a reminder of the complex and multifaceted relationships that existed between individuals and nations, even during periods of geopolitical tension.
