newly aroused anxiety
Explanation:
I think this should be "anxiety" and not the "agony, torture; ångest anguish; kval torment" that Norstedts displays for "vånda". (Your source seems tinged with something dismissive of the Germans' motivation, which is why I suggest this.)

Explanation:
"Vånda" refers to strong ("mental") pain or discomfort (stronger than "uneasiness") about some matter, though not specifically a future state of affairs (as suggested by "foreboding" and "anxiety").
