Note 15: To the reader who, when reading the quoted quotation, might think that it might sound as if it contains some pro-German undertones, it must be hastily added that Allan Johnsen, throughout the occupation, certainly had a good relationship with his German trading colleagues as well as to German authorities in Copenhagen, but that he in his capacity as ex. officer in the Danish army was at the same time an active resistance fighter. But more on that later.

In the book, Johnsen goes on to say that cell wool production soon spread to other countries, such as England, France, Canada, the U.S.A. and Japan, and that at the same time it became a completely new spinning fabric, milk wool, which became a tough competitor for natural wool. The milk wool was produced by a mechanical process from the casein substance of the cow's milk, which through a special filtration and solution was converted into threads from which textile fabric could be spun by machine. Italy in particular was a pioneer in the field of milk wool, and here the product was called "Lanital", by "Lana", wool and "Ital", an abbreviation of Italiana. (Johnsen, pp.233-39).
