Link for "detention at Sveg"
Given the widespread use of euphemisms in WWII, such as deportation, internment, or concentration camp, the sentence seems to imply that the detention at Sveg was dangerous and/or widely known in some way. For example, if you said that a partizan was "deported" to Dachau then the reader would reasonably assume that the subject's life was in grave danger.

In this case the link to "Sveg" the town is akin to linking the Polish town of "Dachau" in an article about a dead Jew/Resistance/Partizan vs. linking the infamous concentration camp(FYI the use of "concentration" is a euphemism for "death" for those readers not familiar with the Boer War). Is there something sinister about Sveg that the reader is expected to be aware of? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.138.223.87 (talk) 05:11, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Hundreds of communist activists were detained in Swedish internment camps during WWII. These were hardly death camps, but the intention of the camp was clearly political. By 1939/1940 it was by no means certain that Sweden would remain outside the war, and these detentions could well have been the first step towards eliminating antifascist resistance. I'm adding a link to Internment camps in Sweden during World War II. --Soman (talk) 05:24, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
