Overall: Nominated five days after expansion, good length, well cited, I did a spot check of the hook fact in the article and at least using deepL.com to translate the source it does not seem like a close phrasing, but I cannot read Swedish (only German), but assuming good faith on foreign language source covers this. The hook seems interesting to me, it caught my attention. Of the two I think that ALT1 is slightly better, but they're both good. Unless someone who reads Swedish says I've got this wrong I think we're good to go. Good job on your article @Frzzl. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 19:42, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the review! I concur that ALT1's better; I've removed the mention of Adolf just because it's superfluous and will detract from the bolded article. Frzzl talk; contribs 14:54, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
