Nazi Germany made large orders of Swedish granite before and during World War 2. The intention was to build a new world of capital, which would be called Germania. A lot was delivered, but after 1943 it became impossible because of war. But the Germans wanted to have his stone and wanted to have supplies when they had won the war. Swedish quarries continued to cut building stone until the end of the war.
