IKEA, GDR and Volvo

IKEA apologises for purchasing products from the former GDR, which were made by political prisoners.

This news is all over today's newspapers.

But might there be a link between the IKEA business and the fact that all state cars used in the former GDR were Swedish built Volvos?

What was the deal between Sweden and the GDR?

Not a word on this so far.
