  Rolf Witting
Professor Rolf Witting (1879–1944) was a renowned oceanographist and Finland-Swedish politician, member of four of Finland's cabinets 1926–1943.
Witting died in 1944 without writing his memoires; and his personal archive is believed to have been burned.
Witting is often characterized as contemptous on democracy, parliamentarians, parliamentarism and Scandinavians while exaggeratedly impressed by German science, German culture, and Hitler's "New Germany".

 witting
Witting was considered an intelligent and capable negotiator, well suited for the tough negotiations on implementation of the peace treaty that were anticipated with the Soviet Union.
He belonged to the circles that had been sympathetic to the semi-fascist Lapua Movement, the very circles the most understanding of the "New Germany" and the most suspicious of the Western imperialist powers of France and Britain, and against a Sweden that in their view had slipped dangerously far on the road towards Socialism.
Witting didn`t believe anything good could come out of cooperation with Scandinavia — particularly not as he considered his conservative Swedish peers to have a paternalist attitude towards Finland and the Finns.The appointment of Witting as foreign minister has mystified many historians and other reviewers of Finland`s 20th century path.

Witting's belonging to the very circles the most understanding of the "New Germany" and the most suspicious of the Western imperialist powers of France and Britain, and against a Sweden that in their view had slipped dangerously far on the road towards Socialism.
Witting didn't believe anything good could come out of cooperation with Scandinavia — particularly not as he considered his conservative Swedish peers to have a paternalist attitude towards Finnland and the Finns.
On the other hand, the appointment of Witting was a clear signal of Finland's political elite's realization, that there existed no more powerful friend to seek protection against an aggressive Soviet Union from, than that Germany that Finland in the late 1930s had made her very best to alienate.
