The author recognises that there is a factually inaccurate statement regarding the phrase “six-figure sums” in the below argument:

“Norlin is pushing not only for the operation to continue but also to investigate the possibility of sending agents deeper into the Soviet Union than just the Baltic states and for this the Wallenbergs would be willing to pay “six-figure sums,” i.e., over a million Swedish crowns. In current money value this equals around 18.7 million crowns or 1.7 million euros, a very large sum by any standards in 1950s Sweden.”

Amounts over a million are more than six-figure sums. The author apologises for this oversight.
