Was one of the girls from abba the daughter of a german soldier?

My hubby says that one of the abba girls was the daughter of a german soldier and was taken into care, was this true and is this why she now lives as a recluse?

The blond one (Agnetha) lives as a recluse.
The other one was the daughter of a German solidier and Norwegian mother born in Norway during the German occupation in WW2.
Sweden was neutral during the war.

The blond one (Agnetha) lives as a recluse.
The other one ,Anni Frid ,was the daughter of a German soldier and Norwegian mother conceived in Norway during the German occupation in WW2.
Her mother died aged 21 in 1947 and she was raised by her grandmother in Sweden.
Sweden was neutral during the war.

Agnetha has not lived as a recluse - she has simply withdrawn from the publicity machine. She has in fact recorded regularly, and with success throughout her time after Abba -

and the idea that she is some sort of Greta Garbo is a myth put about by the media because she lives a quiet life.

To the tabloids, anyone not throwing up into a taxi outside the Met Bar at 3.00 a.m. is a 'recluse' - it's simply not true.
