We were planning to take down a wall between the kitchen and the living room and preferably also the one towards the hallway in our Hultsfred house from the 60s. I am trying to understand if the walls are part of the load-bearing structure or if they are free-standing roof trusses. I have tried looking at construction drawings but am not sure.

In the building description, there are mentions of how load-bearing interior walls are built, but can the inner part of the wall that faces outward be called an interior wall too, and the outer part that the brick stands against is referred to as an exterior wall, or is the part that faces inward also part of the exterior wall so to speak?

Attached are some of the drawings I have.
Floor plan of a 1960s Hultsfred house with labeled rooms. Red arrows indicate walls between the kitchen, hall, and living room.
Floor plan of a basement with labeled rooms including storage, hobby, laundry, and freezer. Measurements and layout details are indicated.
Architectural drawing of a house section showing roof trusses, walls, and foundation with labeled materials: wood, brick, and concrete block.
Blueprint of Hultsfred house roof truss system from the 1960s, showing measurements and structural details related to load-bearing walls.
Construction drawing close-up showing wall types and specifications for load-bearing and non-load-bearing walls in a 1960s Hultsfred house.

Construction plan detailing roof and floor structures, including measurements and materials like beams, insulation, and panels, relevant for 1960s house renovation.
 
According to the attached documents, the roof trusses are freestanding, so only the outer walls are load-bearing.
It should be fine to demolish any interior walls without causing a disaster...

But probably not all interior walls, as some may be necessary for stabilization.

In the basement, there is a load-bearing heart wall.
