  • Max Manus the Rat Hunter
    The Rat Hunter Max Manus Original title: Rottejegeren Max Manus (1914 - 1996) was a Publisher: Kagge Forlag 2021 Norwegian resistance fighter in Fiction / Novel Kompani Linge during WWII. He is one of the few who has been awarded Norway's highest ranked award, the War Cross with two swords. The author has also written several autobiographical books. This is his The Rat Hunters is the name given to the Norwegian resistance fighters who only novel. performed the dirtiest jobs during World War II: they liquidated informants, torturers and other Norwegians who worked for the Germans. In the post-war period, this part of the war history has been concealed. In this sensational and until recently unpublished manuscript written in the years after the war, Kompani Linge lieutenant and Norway's most famous resistance fighter Max Manus tells about the rat hunters. At the center of the story we meet the author's alter ego Freddy and a group of veterans. They try to find their place in society and in love, but dull the bad memories of the war with alcohol and other excesses. "The Rat Hunter" is a hard-boiled and vivid picture of Norway in the late 1940s. It's a story about the real price of war - from a person who knew better than most what he was talking about. "It's nice to feel the wonderful sense of security that touching a gun always gives you," Manus writes, adding: "But the memories never leave him."

  • Max Manus: Man of War and Flame & Citron (From a Swede’S Point of View)
    2. WHOSE REPRESSED MEMORIES? MAX MANUS: MAN OF WAR AND FLAME & CITRON (FROM A SWEDE’S POINT OF VIEW) Erik Hedling In 2008, both Norway and Denmark delivered major contributions to the cinematic genre of the ‘occupation drama’ (Norwegian), or ‘occupation film’ (Danish): the Norwegian film was Max Manus: Man of War (Max Manus, Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg, 2008) and the Danish Flame & Citron (Flammen og citronen, Ole Christian Madsen, 2008). In Scandinavia, these generic markers refer to many films set during the Second World War and depicting the fates of Danes and Norwegians in the years 1940–5, when their respective countries were occupied by Nazi Germany. Thus, both Norway and Denmark eventually came to be on the victorious allied side of the war. The other Nordic countries had different obligations. Finland was between 1941 and 1944 fighting on the side of Nazi Germany in a savage war against the Soviet Union. This struggle was bound to be lost, and Finland came to switch sides in 1944, making peace with the Soviets and agreeing to evict a German army in northern Finland by military force.1 Sweden, most impor- tantly in the present context, was neutral and kept its independence through- out the war. This chapter will study how Max Manus: Man of War and Flame & Citron can be understood in a Swedish context, referring to Swedish history during the war, textual analyses of mainly the scenes from Sweden in the films, and the reception of the films in Sweden. That is, I analyse Norwegian and Danish perceptions of Sweden during the war, but strictly from a Swede’s point of view.
