Oh, he was American?
(says some imaginary Aussie hehe)
Seppo is a typical Finnish name. They have a small but very vocal nazi minority, especially the Finnish immigrants that came to Sweden after the war. Sweden considered them second or even third class citizens (this holds true to some extent even to this day), so they felt the need to be extra nationalistic as a result, and so got sucked up into the racist/nazi organisations of Sweden. Go figure.
