My father in law lived through the invasion in Bergen and told me about it. Oddly enough he owned an island off the coast of Bergen and the Germans came out to the island to capture them!!!

Interesting article. Much more to tell of course. The destruction of nearby Telavåg for example, after the deaths of 2 SS men. Also there were observation posts along the coast of Norway manned by both Norwegians and British Commandos, reporting shipping. Lots of local stories wherever you go in Norway. The dark story of the Krigsbarn should also be remembered.

I think Norway would be a great place to live. Unfortunately I am age
76 and live in the US which is now a nation of slackers and ignorant people. Mostly what I know about Norway comes from reading Karin
Fossum books. The food sounds great. If I ever make would get a shrimp sandwich. Best Wishes to all.

A most interesting article on Bergen and WWII. It filled a lot of blanks I’ve had about what took place in the city of my family members that I didn’t know until a connection made in 2017.

I have just watched ‘The King’s Choice’ a Norwegian drama doc (with English subtitles) on BBC4 detailing the Norwegian royal family from the onset of war. I heartily recommend it.

These are the history lessons that need to be taught today, not because it’s convenient, because it cannot be repeated again. What happened then should never happen again.
