Daniel Wretström

Daniel Wretström (October 15, 1983-December 9, 2000) was a Swedish ultra-nationalist murdered in Salem, Sweden. He played in the white power rock band Vit Legion (White Legion).

Following a conflict at a party in an apartment, Wretström was at a bus station close to a local youth center. A fight ensued in which he was assaulted by a group of about 15 immigrant youths. After the initial assault, one of his assailants hit Wretström over the head with a 1.5 meter-long plank, which knocked him unconscious. An older relative of one of his assailants then arrived on the scene with a knife, and Wretström was stabbed in the back until the blade of the knife broke off, and then his throat was cut with the broken blade.

Wretström's murder inspired Swedish neo-Nazis, ultra-nationalists and other far-right activists to organize an annual demonstration known as the Salem March Those activists consider Wretström to be a martyr to their cause. The neo-Nazi group Blood and Honour has called him "the Horst Wessel of our generation".
