Are we sure this was 1985? I've seen this photo before, and was told it was during the 1940s.

I honestly have no way of knowing which is true.

Neonazis in 1940?

I said I saw the photo, not the title. If the date in the title were incorrect, would it be that out of the question that a word is also incorrect?

Swedes so ahead of the curve their regular 40s Nazis already had 80s fashion and skinheads.

The car on the left is definitely not from the 1940s

Wikipedia says it was 1985. I'm not sure why it's in b&w, since there was definitely color in the 80s.

Black and white film continued to be used after color was invented. You can even buy it today
