Obit of the Day: Norway’s Greatest War Hero

After the Nazis invaded Norway in 1940, Gunnar Sønsteby decided to take part in the fight against the Third Reich - by joining them. Sønsteby signed up as a member of the Nazi-controlled Norwegian State Police. His role allowd him to travel freely around the country, cross the border into neutral Sweden (where he joined Britain’s Special Operations Executive, aka “SOE”), and surveil German operations including the building of U-boats in Trondheim.

For two years Sønsteby managed to escape notice of the Germans through a combination of security clearances, handmade forged documents, and disguise. (The above image is one of Sonsteby’s fake passports. His identity is given as “Tor Hansen.” He is listed as a “politibetjent,” a police officer.) His last mission before needin to go into hiding was the theft of engraved bank note plates the SOE could use to create authentic-looking counterfeit bills to fund the Norwegian underground movement. During his escape into Sweden with the plates, a colleague was captured forcing Sønsteby to stay out of Norway for over a year.

He returned by parachute in November 1943 and began leading a group of Norwegian resistance fighters who went about the country sabotaging German records, arms plants, planes and ships. When the Allies invaded in 1944, Sønsteby and his men destroyed vital rail links, preventing Nazi reinforcements from reaching the front lines.

For his service in World War II, Sønsteby was awarded Norway’s War Cross with three swords the highest honor ever presented in the country’s history. He also earned the Distinguished Service Order from the United Kingdom and the Medal of Freedom from the United States.

In 2007, a statue of Sønsteby and his bicycle was unveiled on Solli Plass in Oslo. Gunnar Sønsteby died at the age of 94.

(Image of Sonsteby’s false passport is courtesy of www.sbsf.no - which is apparently a Norwegian veterans’ group.)

I’d watch that movie.
