I have a brochure printed during the war and can not figure out what language it is printed in. Translation is not really neccessary as it is clearly anti-Hitler but I was wondering what language it is printed in. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

Looks like a Scandinavian language. I don't know what one though.

Maybe this might help. Here is the cover to the brochure. At first, I thought the text was German and then realized it was not. What is it? I still wonder.
