Newsletter Stutthof Diaries Collection November 30, 2016 Newsletter Stutthof Diaries Collection In the premier issue of our Newsletter we thought it necessary to acquaint the reader with the historical events that led to the creation of the Stutthof Diaries Collection. These stories must be told before “clouded fact and memory have fused into what can be accepted as truth, whether it be so or not.” Theodore H White Tore and Grace Jørgensen The Stutthof project began 64 years ago when I first came across a publica- tion entitled ‘Norsk Politi bak Piggtråd’ (Norwegian Police behind Barbed Wire). I later learned that it contained excerpts from diaries of Norwegian police prisoners imprisoned at KZ Stutthof concentration camp in Eastern Poland, between December 1943 and April 1945, of which my fa- ther was one. Finally, after many years the Stutthof Diaries project is becoming real and will in- clude publications, a documentary and a TV mini-series. Though initially the project was to trans- late and retell the diaries kept by the Norwegian police, the project has taken on a broader scope Continued Page 2 Haakon VII became the first king of Norway after the 1905 dissolution of the union with Sweden. He reigned from November 1905 to September 1957. As one of the few elected monarchs, Haakon quickly won the respect and affec- tion of his people. He played a pivotal role in uniting the Norwegian nation in its resistance to the Nazi invasion and subsequent five-year-long occupation of his country during World War II. Regarded as one of the greatest Norwegians of the twentieth century, he is particularly revered for his courage during the German invasion—he threatened abdication if the government cooperated with the invading Germans—and for his lead- ership and preservation of Norwegian unity during the occupation. In this issue we present part one of King Haakon’s reign. Story Page 3-5 “I didn’t know the story of King Haakon VII—democratically elected king of Norway!—and his noble opposition to the Ger- man National Socialist invasion of the Kingdom of Norway in 1940 until today. That such heroism existed in the twentieth century gives me great hope for humanity.” Bradley J Blizer The movie “Kongens Nei” (The King’s Choice) is the Norwegian film contending to be the best non-English language film at the Oscars. The film is based on a true story about the three dramatic days in April 1940. Read more about this potential Oscar winner. Review Page 6 November 30, 2016 H7 Monogram—Resistance Symbol Norwegian Krone with H7 Monogram to include stories of other nationalities whose lives intertwined with the Norwegian prisoners. The Stutthof Project in reality began during the early years of WW II, with the then king of Norway, Haakon VI. In a recently released Norwegian movie (September 26, 2016), entitled ‘Kongens Nei’ (The Kings Choice), King Haakon VII is given an ultimatum by the Germans to surrender the gov- ernment and appoint Vidkun Quisling (Nasjonal Samling leader) to take control of the government or suffer the consequences. In a speech to the Norwegian Government on April 10, 1940 King Haa- kon said: “I am deeply affected by the responsibility laid on me if the German demand is rejected. The respon- sibility for the calamities that will befall people and country is indeed so grave that I dread to take it. It rests with the government to decide, but my position is clear. For my part I cannot accept the Ger- man demands. It would conflict with all that I have considered to be my duty as King of Norway since I came to this country nearly thirty-five years ago. The decision is yours. But if you choose to accept the German demands, I must abdicate. For, I cannot appoint Quisling as prime minister.” The elected Government of Johan Nygaard, inspired by the king’s resistance, voted to not surrender and fight the Germans. The king and the elected government escaped to England where they sup- ported the Allied war efforts. Three years later Norwegian police officers all over Norway were arrested and given an ultimatum by the Germans, either to sign an oath of loyalty to the German occupying powers and the puppet government of Quisling, or suffer the consequences. They refused to comply and stood as a collec- tive protest against the Nazi Regime. They realized they could no longer sit on the fence, but like their king, take a stand. This Newsletter issue is largely dedicated to King Haakon VII, whose ‘Nei’ became a rally cry for all those who defied the German occupation of Norway during World War II. Minister of Foreign Affairs Bjørn Tore Godal, speaking at the 50th anniversary for Victory in Europe Day, said Norway was the only country in which the initials of the head of state became a resistance symbol. The monogram, with H superimposed on 7, was drawn on fences, walls, houses, roads, in the snow and otherwise in the public sphere. It was also used in illegal art. Coins with the H7 sym- bol were also attached to clothes. Such coins were confiscated by the Nazi authorities. It was also used in the private sphere, among others on the inside of blinds. A symbol used in a similar way was the "V for victory", as popularized by Winston Churchill. The symbol was also evoked after World War II to have a commemorative effect, among others at the first post-war Holmenkollen ski jump event, when the symbol was formed in large scale by people. It was also used on post-war coins.

Gradually, Prince Carl of Denmark became the leading candidate, largely because he was descended from independent Norwegian kings. He also had a son, providing an heir-apparent to the throne, and the fact that his wife, Princess Maud, was a member of the British Royal Family was viewed by many as an advantage to the newly independent Norwegian nation Prince Carl born, Christian Frederik Carl Georg Valdemar Axel on August 3, 1872 and was known as Prince Carl of Denmark until 1905. He was the second son of King Frederik VIII of Denmark and his wife Louise. Furthermore, he was a younger brother of Christian X, the future king of Denmark. Prince Carl was born at Charlottenlund Palace near Copenhagen. He belonged to the Schleswig- Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg branch of the House of Oldenburg. The family had permanent links with Norway beginning from the late Middle Ages. Several of Prince Carl’s paternal ancestors had been kings of independent Norway (Haakon V of Norway, Christian I of Norway, Frederick I, Christian III, Frederick II, Christian IV, as well as Frederick III of Norway who integrated Norway into the Oldenburg state with Denmark. Prince Carl was raised in the royal household in Copenhagen and educated at the Royal Danish Naval Academy. At Buckingham Palace on July 22, 1896, Prince Carl married his first cousin Princess Maud of Wales, youngest daughter of the future King Edward VII of England. Their son, Prince Alexander, the future Crown Prince Olav (and eventually king Olav V of Norway), was born on 2 July 1903. The democratically-minded Carl, aware that Norway was still debating whether to remain a king- dom or to switch to a republican form of government, was flattered by the Norwegian govern- ment's overtures, but he made his acceptance of the offer conditional on the holding of a referen- dum to show whether monarchy was the choice of the Norwegian people. After the referendum overwhelmingly confirmed by a 79 percent majority that Norwegians desired to retain a monarchy, Prince Carl was formally offered the throne of Norway by the Storting (parliament) and was elected on November 18 , 1905. When Prince Carl accepted the offer that same evening, he immediately endeared himself to his adopted country by taking the Old Norse name of Haakon, a name used by six previous kings of Norway and became King Haakon VII. The new royal family of Norway left Denmark on the Danish royal yacht Dannebrog and sailed into Oslofjord as far as the Oscarsborg Fortress. At the Fortress they boarded the Norwegian naval ship Heimdal and arrived in Kristiania (old name for Oslo) early on the morning of November 25, 1905. Two days later, Haakon took the oath as Norway's first independent king in 518 years. The corona- tion of Haakon and Maud took place in Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim on June 22, 1906. King Haakon gained much affection from the Norwegian people. He traveled extensively through Norway. Although the Constitution of Norway bestows the King with considerable executive pow- ers, in practice nearly all major governmental decisions were made by the Government (the Council of State) in his name. Haakon confined himself to non-partisan roles without interfering in politics, a practice continued by his son and grandson. However, his long rule gave him considerable moral authority as a symbol of the country's unity.

  • Isotopic Evidence on the Age of the Trysil Porphyries and Granites in Eastern Hedmark, Norway
    ISOTOPIC EVIDENCE ON THE AGE OF THE TRYSIL PORPHYRIES AND GRANITES IN EASTERN HEDMARK, NORWAY by H. N. A. Priem1), R. H. Verschure1), E. A. Th. Verdurmen1), E. H. Hebeda1) and N. A. I. M. Boelrijk1) Abstract. Rocks from the (sub-Jotnian) acidic plutonic and volcanic basement complexes in the Trysil area, eastern Hedmark, yield a Rb—Sr isochron age of 1 541 ±69 million years. This agrees within the limits of error with the isochrom age of 1590 ±65 million years determined for the Dala porphyries and granites in Dalarna, Sweden, which are the continuation of the acidic igneous complexes in the Trysil area. The sub-Jotnian acidic magmatism in the eastern Hedmark—Dalarna region can thus be dated at 1570 ± 40 million years ago, i.e. some 100 million years younger than the termination of the Svecofennian orogcny. (Ages computed with A. = 1.47 x 10"11 yr"1 ; errors with 95 % confidence level). Chemically, this magmatism is characterized by a granitic to alkali granitic and alkali syenitic composition. The Trysil area has also been affected by a tectonothermal event in Sveconorwegian time, about 925 million years ago, as evidenced by the Rb—Sr and K—Ar ages of separated biotites. Introduction. Studies on the geology of the Trysil area in eastern Hedmark have been published by Schiøtz (1903), Reusch (1914), Holmsen (1915), Holtedahl (1921), Dons (1960) and Holmsen et al. (1966). The Quaternary deposits were mapped by Holmsen (1958, 1960). A geo logical sketch map of the area is shown in Fig. 1 (mainly after the Geo logisk Kart over Norge, 1960).

  • 13. ”Kongens Nei” 10. April 1940
    13. ”Kongens nei” 10. april 1940 1: SAMMENDRAG MED BESKRIVELSE AV DOKUMENTENE 1.1 Kort beskrivelse av dokumentenes art, unikhet og betydning. Gjennom det tyske angrepet på Norge 9. april 1940, ble landet trukket inn i den andre verdenskrig. I løpet av få timer var alle de viktigste sjøfartsbyer i Sør-Norge invadert av tyske soldater. Imidlertid ga senkingen av krysseren ”Blücher” ved Drøbak regjeringen og kongefamilien tid til å flykte ut av Oslo. Den 10. april 1940 befant kongefamilien og regjeringen seg, med unntak av utenriksministeren, i Nybergsund ved Trysil. I et møte mellom utenriksminister Koht, Kongen og den tyske sendemannen i Norge i Elverum samme dag, forlangte tyskerne total overgivelse og at Kongen skulle utnevne Vidkun Quisling til statsminister. Kravene ble avvist av så vel konge som regjering da den møtte til statsråd i Nybergsund samme kveld. Det foreslåtte dokumentet, kgl. res. av 10. april 1940 ”Kongens nei” går inn i en norsk forvaltningstradisjon der regjeringens vedtak blir sanksjonert av Kongen i statsråd. Samtidig er det et meget betydningsfullt dokument både fordi det ga det endelige offisielle signalet til motstand mot de tyske angriperne og fordi det avspeiler en selvstendig politisk handling av kong Haakon VII. Kongen gjorde det klart i statsråd 10. april at han ikke ønsket å etterkomme de tyske kravene. Gjennom sin faste holdning kan han ha påvirket regjeringens diskusjoner og til og med dens avgjørelse, noe som er helt unikt i moderne norsk konstitusjonell historie. 2: OPPLYSNINGER OM SØKER 2.1 Navn på søker: Riksarkivet (Arkivverket) 2.2 Søkers tilknytning til den nominerte dokumentarven: Riksarkivet eier dokumentet.

Justad, Børre Lilloe, Jan Jørgen Moe, Bernt A. Solås, Arne Sæther og Erik Aarset. Spesielt må Rolv Gunnar Gitlestad berømmes for en utrettelig innsats for å få korrekt navn og fødselsdata på plass. Når det gjelder navn er også kallenavn som ble brukt på denne tiden tatt med i ”gåseøyne”. Senere navneendringer er angitt i parentes. I noen tilfeller er mellomnavnet senere brukt som familienavn. Dette er ikke spesielt markert dersom begge navnene ble brukt opprinnelig. Når det gjelder bruk av mellomnavn er dette i utgangspunktet begrenset til det eller de navn som ble brukt i 1951. Unntaksvis er også mellomnavn som ikke ble brukt tatt med dersom utøveren selv eller eventuelle etterkommere har ytret ønske om dette. I 1951 ble det benyttet ulike betegnelser på gutteklasser, og det ble ofte også konkurrert i dobbeltklasser. Jeg har imidlertid brukt følgende klassebetegnelser: J: juniorklasse og klasse I (f. 1931-33) i landsidrettsstevnet for høyere skoler. a: f. 1933 eller 16-18 år b: f. 1934 eller II (i landsidrettsstevnet) eller 15-17 år c: f. 1935 eller III (i landsidrettsstevnet) eller 14-16 år d: f. 1936 eller IV (i landsidrettsstevnet) eller 13-15 år e: f. 1937 eller V (i landsidrettsstevnet) eller 12-14 år Grunnlaget for statistikken er for øvrig statistikk (uten fødselsdata, sted og dato) publisert i Sportsmanden.

He was elected by an 80 percent margin by the 2015 people of Norway. Once king, Prince Carl took the Norwegian name and kingly title of sommer Haakon VII. He was the first Norwegian king in over 500 years. During those five centuries the Norwegian royal line and nobility had entirely disappeared. That is why the Norwegians in 1905 sought their king from abroad. Haakon VII and Crown Prince Olav in eastern Norway during their escape from the Nazis. Haakon VI proved to be an able leader who enthusiastically embraced his role as the King of Norway. His guiding motto was “All for Norway” and he traveled all over the country to meet with people both high and low. His wife, Maud, was the daughter of King Edward of England, and this royal union with Great Britain gave the new-born country of Norway some measure of extra protection from other great powers in the first decades of the twentieth century.

The results point to a future warming at all catchments but the projected trends for the precipitation gave a more mixed picture, depending on season and location.

(Photo: Section for Hydrometry, NVE) ISSN: 1502-3540 ISBN: 978-82-410-0753-8 Abstract: An ensemble of regional climate scenarios, calibrated hydrological models and flood frequency analyses are used to assess likely changes in hydrological floods under a future climate in Norway for two periods, 2021-2050 and 2071-2100. Analyses are based on detailed modelling for 115 catchments, and changes in the mean annual flood, the 200-year and the 1000- year floods are estimated. Regional guidance for using the projections in climate change adaptation planning is also presented. Key words: Climate change adaptation, HBV hydrological model, uncertainty, flood risk Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate Middelthunsgate 29 P.O.
