One of the most famous resistance fighters was Jan Baalsrud. A fisherman by trade, Baalsrud was captured by the Nazis in 1943. He escaped and embarked on an incredible journey across the snow-covered mountains of Norway. He eventually made it to Sweden, where he joined the Allied forces.

Another notable resistance fighter was Gunnar Sønsteby. A former Olympic skier, Sønsteby was responsible for carrying out some of the most daring sabotage missions of the war. He blew up Nazi ships, destroyed factories, and even kidnapped a German general.

The Importance of the Resistance

The Norwegian resistance played a vital role in the Allied victory in World War II. They disrupted Nazi supply lines, gathered intelligence, and carried out sabotage missions. They also helped to keep the Norwegian people's spirits up during the dark days of occupation.

The resistance movement was also a symbol of hope for other occupied countries. It showed that even against the overwhelming odds, it was possible to resist the Nazis.
