Download or read book Our Escape from Nazi Occupied Norway written by Leif Terdal and published by . This book was released on 2008-10 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Germany invaded Norway with a massive military force in April 1940. The author describes the Norwegian resistance movement including their effort to help Jews avoid Nazi death camps. Much of the resistance movement was led by clergy from the Norwegian Lutheran church and by school teachers. Section two describes our escape from western Norway via a fishing boat to Scotland, and then on a Norwegian freighter to Canada. On each leg of our trip we experienced a military attack from either a German airplane or a submarine attack. I was four years old at the time of our escape; one of my brothers was eight years old, and our younger brother was eighteen months old. My mother made all the arrangements and experienced the brunt of the stress of our escape, because my father had already escaped previously. The final section of the book focuses on reflections by us three brothers, now some sixty years after our escape. We have come to a painful realization that anti-Semitism has a long history in our Christian churches (Protestant and Catholic) that contributed to the silence and even collaboration with the Nazi plans for the holocaust.

Download or read book An Analysis Of The Norwegian Resistance During The Second World War written by Major Kim M. Johnson and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Norwegian Resistance during the Second World War (April 1940-June 1945) was basically a peaceful set of events conducted by the civilian population as well as underground military organizations. While sabotage and other hostile resistance acts did occur, they were not great in number. It should not be overlooked the Norwegian Armed Forces did fight for 63 days before admitting defeat to Germany. This paper will answer the question “Was the Norwegian Resistance successful against the German Nazis once their country was taken over by them during the Second World War?” The Warden theory of the organization of a system is used to categorize the Resistance movement, dissecting it and placing it in categories. Centers of gravity are noted and discussed. While the Norwegians did not have the military strength to beat the Germans, they did win many battles via their Resistance to the German Rule. These victories along with German acknowledgment prove the Norwegian Resistance was successful against the German Army and its rule over Norway.

Download or read book Norway in the Second World War written by Ole Kristian Grimnes and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-09-08 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering political, military, economic and social history, Norway in the Second World War is the most authoritative book on the subject in the English language. This innovative study describes how the Germans conquered Norway in 1940 and the type of government that was then imposed. German organisations such as the Wehrmacht, the SS and the civilian Reichskommissariat are all presented, along with how they operated during the occupation. Ole Kristian Grimnes examines the Norwegian Nazi Party and the important role that it played during the period, as well as analysing how the Norwegian economy became integrated into the German war economy. The Norwegian resistance (including the Communists) and the Norwegian government-in-exile are explored in detail, while a separate chapter on the Holocaust in both Norwegian and international contexts is also included. As such, Norway in the Second World War is the definitive text on war and Nazi occupation in a nation that has been sorely neglected by the literature in the field until now.

Download or read book Folklore Fights the Nazis written by Kathleen Stokker and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 1997-02-01 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Armed with jokes, puns, and cartoons, Norwegians tried to keep their spirits high and foster the Resistance by poking fun at the occupying Germans during World War II. Despite a 1942 ordinance mandating death for the ridicule of Nazi soldiers, Norwegians attacked the occupying Nazis and their Norwegian collaborators by means of anecdotes, quips, insinuating personal ads, children’s stories, Christmas cards, mock postage stamps, and symbolic clothing. In relating this dramatic story, Kathleen Stokker draws upon her many interviews with survivors of the Occupation and upon the archives of the Norwegian Resistance Museum and the University of Oslo. Central to the book are four “joke notebooks” kept by women ranging in age from eleven to thirty, who found sufficient meaning in this humor to risk recording and preserving it. Stokker also cites details from wartime diaries of three other women from East, West, and North Norway. Placing the joking in historical, cultural, and psychological context, Stokker demonstrates how this seemingly frivolous humor in fact contributed to the development of a resistance mentality among an initially confused, paralyzed, and dispirited population, stunned by the German invasion of their neutral country. For this paperback edition, Stokker has added a new preface offering a comparative view of resistance through humor in neighboring Denmark.

Download or read book Industrial Collaboration in Nazi Occupied Europe written by Hans Otto Frøland and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-22 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together leading experts to assess how and whether the Nazis were successful in fostering collaboration to secure the resources they required during World War II. These studies of the occupation regimes in Norway and Western Europe reveal that the Nazis developed highly sophisticated instruments of exploitation beyond oppression and looting. The authors highlight that in comparison to the heavy manufacturing industries of Western Europe, Norway could provide many raw materials that the German war machine desperately needed, such as aluminium, nickel, molybdenum and fish. These chapters demonstrate that the Nazis provided incentives to foster economic collaboration, hoping that these would make every mine, factory and smelter produce at its highest level of capacity. All readers will learn about the unique part of Norwegian economic collaboration during this period and discover the rich context of economic collaboration across Europe during World War II.

Download or read book A Typical SOE Story written by Rolf Dahlo and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-04-04 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author was born with a cover operation. He had at least three false identities in official records during the first ten days of life. The context was the Nazi occupation of Norway. People in the Resistance had to act in unusual ways. Some even had to give away their own children to protect them. The author was protected by adoptive parents who were secretive. After their death the author spent years attempting to research his enigmatic early life. Official wartime sources contained only false information about his father, and his mother was dead. An investigation seemed unlikely to find a father who had been present in Trondheim on the day of conception, the 27th of June 1942, probably with brown eyes and from the North of Norway. Historical research in the Resistance gave new information about secret work during WW2 and the stay behind organization in the early postwar years. His father was a secret agent of the British organization SOE. He was on operation to establish groups for subversive warfare as the illegal cover for the early attempts of sabotage against the battleship Tirpitz. His mother was the link between an Allied source for naval intelligence and the W/T agent. His father was captured by the enemy and subjected to torture for 63 days without cracking. The story documents the limited efficiency of torture. He died six days before his son was born with a cover operation to protect individuals in the Resistance connected with the agent. The book presents many individuals of the Resistance. One of them was the Dean of the Trondheim Cathedral, instrumental in establishing the early Resistance and credited for the cover operation protecting the author at birth. Another is the British intelligence officer Frank Stagg, active in both world wars and the early cold war. The author's father was sent to an SOE operation that had been penetrated by the enemy already in April 1941. Following his arrest SOE returned the compromised organizer to the field of operation. This disastrous decision led to the shooting of a young Swede in the Norwegian Legation in Stockholm. The tragic death in 1944 has been suppressed by the authorities of three countries. In this book there is a mixture of heroism and horror revealed by an author who discovered that these operations shaped his life. For some readers the discovery of the author's own identity after half a century in ignorance, will be their main interest. Many readers will concentrate on the theme of an adopted child discovering his biological family. For other readers the main interest is the story of the Resistance in Norway and of SOE's efforts in the war behind the front lines with the organization's legacy for postwar years of occupation preparedness.
