what does he have to do with the seigneurs of Sark. Also, was he the first president? Danny

[edit] Unreferenced comment about his son

I've moved the following from the article space:

"His son served in the German army as a part of Schutzstaffel in WW2."

If somebody digs up a source for this with accurate details, do you think it is interesting enough to mention? Stefán Ingi 21:52, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

This [1] is a good source although biased presumably, it's the biography of Björn. Of course it is in Icelandic and somebody would have to read it... The author has a blog if anybody is interested. :) Stefán Ingi 00:11, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Here [2] is a bit of a summary of his involvement, towards the bottom of the page (in Icelandic of course). It is focused on his involvement in broadcasting German news to Iceland. It ends with the paragraph "Frá höfuðstöðvum SS í Berlín barst nú skipun um að Björn Sv. Björnsson skyli taka þátt í undirbúningsnámskeiði fyrir germönsk SS-foringjaefni í Bad Tölz í Þýskalandi frá 1. október til 15. desember 1942." From the Headquarters of SS in Berlin there came the order that Björn should take part in a preparation course for germanic SS-leader-candidates (very rough translation here :)) in Bad Tölz in Germany from October 1 to October 15 1942.
