With parents who had gone through the war in England. It was all very alive to me.

There are parallels.

And of course differences. Putin is cleverer than Hitler. Hitler risked the lives of his soldiers to overrun a weaker country. Putin conquered a much stronger enemy with time, planning, and money, and without spilling any blood on his side.

The last death penalty carried out in Norway. The wounds of the war and occupation are still fresh in Norway, like it was yesterday.

Is a movie about King Haakens exile during that period. Haven’t seen yet but looks awesome. I read “H7” was the symbol for the king and under occupation H7 graffiti was a big F you to Nazis.
