Thanks for this. No, English isn't my first language and yes, ofc I understand what it means. My question was indeed more about the legal/judicial, as well as logistical aspects. I've heard of things such as exile which means a citizen is banned from their country - not city - and forbidden from returning: But I've only heard that happening like back in the middle ages, no idea if modern countries still have legal bases for that. Then you'd have to have some sort of permit for staying in a country that you're not a citizen of, and revoking such a permit is certainly easy enough, but I'm just gonna assume those nazis were mostly Swedish citizens. Next, groups of criminals, including nazis (nazi activity in and of itself is a criminal offence in some countries) are often disbanded by the police, as in their organization is found out, convicted of criminal activities and forbidden from reconvening. Anyhow, this story is about them getting expelled from a city, which is why it all sounds a bit like folklore. I can't think of a legal basis, at least in my country, for forbidding a citizen from living in a certain municipality. Maybe by expelled, they just meant expelled to prison 😄
