| - Folke Bernadotte was born in Stockholm into the House of Bernadotte, making him a relative to the current royal family in Sweden. He was the son of Count Oscar Bernadotte of Wisborg and his wife Ebba Munck af Fulkila. Bernadotte attended school in Stockholm, after which he entered training to become a cavalry officer at the Military Academy Karlberg. During the autumns of 1943 and 1944, he organized prisoner exchanges which brought home 11,000 prisoners from Germany via Sweden. In 1945, he received a German surrender offer from Heinrich Himmler, though the offer was ultimately rejected. He also led several rescue missions in Germany for the Red Cross. On 20 May 1948, Folke Bernadotte was appointed the United Nations's mediator in Palestine, the first official mediator in the UN's history. He succeeded in achieving an initial truce during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. Bernadotte was assassinated on Friday 17 September 1948 by members of the Jewish nationalist Zionist group Lehi (also known as the Stern Gang or Stern Group).
