There have, however, only been a small number of scholarly studies of SOE’s activities, and no specific examination of its involvement in occupied Norway. This thesis, therefore, is the first multi-archival, international, and academic analysis of its policy and operations in this country and the influences that shaped them. The proposition is that it was the changing contribution of both SOE and Norway within the wider strategic context in Europe that was the predominant factor behind its plans for this theatre, and other factors, although material, were of secondary importance. These included SOE’s relationship with the Norwegian government-in-exile and the resistant movements that emerged in response to the occupation, especially Milorg, which set out to form an underground army within the country. As well as collaboration with the other clandestine organisations and regular armed forces that had a military involvement in Norway. Through an examination of these contextual influences this work argues that between 1940 and 1945, in step with its original strategic role, SOE’s policy for Norway consisted of a short-term objective, which through activities such as sabotage was to help undermine German fighting strength, and a long-term objective of forming a secret army. These aims could not, however, be achieved or implemented without the co-operation of the Norwegian military authorities and Milorg, who provided most of the manpower, and the assistance of the other military agencies that often operated alongside SOE. From the beginning, therefore, SOE deliberately set out to work with all these parties, but always on the basis that any joint activity was undertaken in accordance with British and Allied interests. This meant that SOE’s operations in Norway were ultimately the result of a blend of influences. It was, however, this country’s subordinate and peripheral position in relation to the main thrust of Allied strategy in Europe that was the crucial factor. The constructive relationship that the organisation eventually had with the Norwegian authorities and Milorg was also important because it meant that SOE both received the support it required and managed to ensure Allied control over special operations in this theatre. It was, therefore, a relationship that was beneficial and rather than undermining SOE’s plans, it underpinned them and guaranteed they remained in step with strategic and military requirements. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My decision to examine SOE policy and operations in Norway was prompted by not just my interest in the history of the country during the Second World War but also by Professor Patrick Salmon at Newcastle University who took the time to reply to my correspondence and suggested that it was a topic that required and deserved attention. A large part of my time has been spent working on the extensive SOE material at Norges Hjemmefrontmuseum (the Resistance Museum) in Oslo. During that time I received unstinting support from Ivar Kraglund, Frode Færøy, Arnfinn Moland, and especially Anne Karin Sønsteby, who always with a smile responded to my requests for files and helped me locate important material. Working at the museum gave me the opportunity to meet several Norwegian resistance figures including Gunnar Sønsteby, with whom I had several enjoyable conversations. It also gave me the chance to encounter other Norwegian researchers and historians, such as Berit Nøkleby who has regularly responded to my enquiries, and kindly supplied me with some valuable material, including her excellent study of SIS. I would like to extend my thanks to all of these people and the Research Council of Norway, which provided substantial funding for my work in Oslo. Lastly, I must mention my family in Norway, who regularly helped by bringing over to Britain many of the key Norwegian publications that have been so important for my work and which are sadly unavailable in this country. I would like to thank Professor Christopher Duffy whom, over many cups of coffee at ‘Fortnum and Masons’ gave me advice and encouragement in the early stages of my work. It was also through Christopher that I was able to get in touch with Mark Seaman, until recently the SOE historian at the Imperial War Museum. Mark’s knowledge and his willingness to answer my questions and to take the time to discuss and debate issues with me have been a great help. Duncan Stuart, who was the SOE Advisor at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, also assisted by providing me with important documents and detail from SOE’s personal files, which have only just been released into the Public Records Office at Kew. My two supervisors, Dr. David Ryan and Dr. H. P. Willmott have also been a great support, not just through reading my work but by putting forward valuable thoughts and insights that have helped in its development. ii LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS ACAS (ops) Assistant Chief of the Air Staff (Operations) ACNS (H) Assistant Chief of Naval Staff (Home) ACO Advisor on Combined Operations ACOS Admiral Commanding the Orkneys and Shetlands AI air intelligence (London) AI 10 cover name for SOE ALFN Allied Land Forces Norway ANCC Anglo-Norwegian Collaboration Committee AL air liaison section in SOE AT Arbeidstjenesten (The Labour Services) in Norway B.org Bedriftsorganisasjonen (The Industrial Organisation), a resistance organisation in occupied Norway BSS Bayswater security section C head of SIS CCS Combined Chiefs of Staff CCO Chief of Combined Operations CEO Chief Executive Officer CIGS Chief of the Imperial General Staff COHQ Combined Operations headquarters COS Chiefs of Staff Committee COSSAC Chief of Staff to the Supreme Allied Commander (Designate) CS Sir Cambell Stuart’s propaganda department, part of the Foreign Office D sabotage section of SIS DCO Directorate of Combined Operations DDOD(I) Deputy Director, Operations Division (Irregular) at the Admiralty D/F direction finding, the action of using an aerial to determine the direction of incoming radio waves DK Distriktskommandoer (District Commanders) DKN Distriktskommando Nord (the District Commander for northern Norway) iii DKT Distrikstkommando Trøndelag (the District Commander for the county of Trøndelag) DKØ Districtskommando Øst (the District Commander for eastern Norway) DMI Director of Military Intelligence DNA Det norske arbeiderparti (the Norwegian Labour Party) DNI Director of Naval Intelligence DSIR Department for Scientific and Industrial Research DZ dropping zone EH Electra House, the propaganda department under Sir Cambell Stuart FA Forsvarsstabens krigstidsarkiv 1940-1945, Oslo (the Defence Staff war archives) FANY First Aid Nursing Yeomanry FD Forsvarsdepartementet (the Norwegian Ministry of Defence) FD/E Forsvarsdepartementet Etterretningskontor (the Norwegian Ministry of Defence Intelligence Office) FFK Flyvåpnenes Felleskommando (the Royal Norwegian Air Force Joint Command) FO Foreign Office FO Forsvarets Overkommando, (The Norwegian Defence High Command) FO II The Norwegian Defence High Command Intelligence Department FO IV The Norwegian Defence High Command, Department no.

    Masteroppgave i Kulturmøte Oppgavetittel: «Russenschwein!» Okkupasjonshistorie fra Solør med fokus på russiske tvangsarbeidere årene 1943-1945 ved Haslemoen leir – møte mellom lokalbefolkning, krigsfanger og Herrefolket. Studiepoeng: 60 Forfatternavn.: Elin Gundersen Mnd/År.: Mai 2017 Side 1 av 100 Abstract This thesis is looking into the local history in Solør during the Second World War, particularly russian prisoners of war. It will also briefly look in to how the story from Solør has been told for later generations in books and colloquially, and if the national and the local history is the story of the victor. There were also a relatively high share members of Nasjonal Samling, the Norwegian Nationalist Party, in the Solør area both before and during the Second World War. People in Solør, as many other places, had people on both sides that worked for or against the Government and people who just tried to live their lives as normal as they could. It’s the meeting between the different parts during the war and the first period in peacetime this thesis is also trying to look into. There were several million Soviet prisoners of war taken after Germany invaded The Soviet Union (USSR) June 22. 1941, this was called “Operation Barbarossa”. The nazis needed a lot of workers and forced their prisoners into labour. In Norway they had around 500 hundred small and bigger camps, Stalags, where forced working slaves were used for different things. Mostly in the infrastructure like roads, airports and railways. They usually didn’t get enough food, they were undernurished, and they often got sick.

Eriksen* Tore Jørgen Hanisch † Arild Sæther * University of Agder, Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences, Kristiansand, Norway ‡ University of Agder, Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences, Kristiansand, Norway † University of Agder, Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences, Kristiansand, Norway This article can be dowloaded from: http://www.nopecjournal.org/NOPEC_2007_a01.pdf Other articles from the Nordic Journal of Political Economy can be found at: http://www.nopecjournal.org The Rise and Fall of the Oslo School 1 Ib E. Eriksen, Tore Jørgen Hanisch1, Arild Sæther The Rise and Fall of the Oslo School2 Abstract In 1931 Ragnar Frisch became professor at the University of Oslo. By way of his research, a new study programme and new staff he created the ”Oslo School”, characterised by mathematical modelling, econometrics, economic planning and scepticism towards the market economy. Consequently, detailed state economic planning and governance dominated Norwegian economic policy for three decades after WWII. In the 1970s the School’s dominance came to an end when the belief in competitive markets gained a foothold and the economy had poor performance. As a result a decentralized market economy was reintroduced. However, mathematical modelling and econometrics remain in the core of most economic programmes. JEL classification: B23, B29,B31, B59, O21, P41, P51 1. Introduction The main purpose of this presentation is to tell the story of how Ragnar Frisch founded the so-called Oslo School in economics, and secondly, to outline the main features of this School and investigate its major influence on the Norwegian post-war economy.

Pekka Sulkunen 11201014 Oppdragsgiver Norges Forskningsråd Sammendrag Rapporten dokumenter at dereguleringen av den norske og finske økonomien først og fremst handlet om politikk og politiske prosesser, og i liten grad begrunnet i økonomisk teori. Heller ikke neoliberal filosofi slik vi kjenner den fra USA og Storbritannia spilte noen stor rolle i de to landene. Isteden handlet det om forestillingen om, og fremveksten av, en ny type velferdsstat med behov for en moralsk legitimering av autonomi. Summary The report documents that the deregulation of the Norwegian and Finnish economy primarily was about politics and political processes, and to a much lesser extent about justifications rooted in economic theory. Nor neoliberal philosophy as we know it from the US and Britain played a major role in the two countries. Instead, it was about the notion, and the emergence of, a new kind of welfare state in need of a moral legitimization of autonomy.

  • Visitasforedrag Kvinesdal Fjotland Og Feda Sokn .Pdf
    DEN NORSKE KIRKE Agder og Telemark biskop Visitasforedrag ved bispevisitasen i Kvinesdal-, Feda- og Fjotland sokn 1. – 6. september 2015 INNLEDNING Kjære menigheter i Kvinesdal-, Feda- og Fjotland sokn! Nåde være med dere, og fred fra Gud vår Far og Herren Jesus Kristus. Jeg har gledet meg til å være sammen med dere i rammen av en visitas. Etter å ha vært prest i 16 år i dette prostiet, er det derfor på mange måter som å være hjemme igjen. En visitas åpner for et dypere kjennskap til menighet og samfunn. Takk for at dere har lukket meg inn i deres utfordringer og muligheter. Forrige visitas i Kvinesdal, Feda og Fjotland var i 2003. Visitasen er en synlig del av mitt tilsyn som biskop med den lokale kirke. Det har vært viktige dager. Jeg ber om at visitasen må bli slik dere i visitasmeldingen ønsket. Jeg siterer: ”Vi håper at dagene vil gi mulighet til å tenke gjennom det arbeidet menighetene står i til daglig, gi veiledning til nye veivalg, samt gi inspirasjon i arbeidet videre.” FORBEREDELSE En visitas er mer enn at biskopen besøker menigheten en liten uke. I forkant skriver sokneprestene sammen med kirkeverge og råd en visitasmelding. Det er en beskrivelse og vurdering av det som har skjedd siden forrige visitas og av situasjonen i dag. Jeg oppfordrer menigheten til å lese denne meldingen. Det er et offentlig dokument. Til denne visitasen har jeg fått en bred og god melding som forteller om menigheter som jobber trofast og planmessig. Umiddelbart var det tre positive ting i visitasmeldingen som jeg merket meg.

  • Knut Døscher Master.Pdf (1.728Mb)
    Knut Kristian Langva Døscher German Reprisals in Norway During the Second World War Master’s thesis in Historie Supervisor: Jonas Scherner Trondheim, May 2017 Norwegian University of Science and Technology Preface and acknowledgements The process for finding the topic I wanted to write about for my master's thesis was a long one. It began with narrowing down my wide field of interests to the Norwegian resistance movement. This was done through several discussions with professors at the historical institute of NTNU. Via further discussions with Frode Færøy, associate professor at The Norwegian Home Front Museum, I got it narrowed down to reprisals, and the cases and questions this thesis tackles. First, I would like to thank my supervisor, Jonas Scherner, for his guidance throughout the process of writing my thesis. I wish also to thank Frode Færøy, Ivar Kraglund and the other helpful people at the Norwegian Home Front Museum for their help in seeking out previous research and sources, and providing opportunity to discuss my findings. I would like to thank my mother, Gunvor, for her good help in reading through the thesis, helping me spot repetitions, and providing a helpful discussion partner. Thanks go also to my girlfriend, Sigrid, for being supportive during the entire process, and especially towards the end. I would also like to thank her for her help with form and syntax. I would like to thank Joachim Rønneberg, for helping me establish the source of some of the information regarding the aftermath of the heavy water raid. I also thank Berit Nøkleby for her help with making sense of some contradictory claims by various sources.
