I have not forgotten.
Norsemen prevented Hitler to get atomic bomb! I have not forgotten Norwegian resistance and it's major contribution to Allies war effort.
The problem is, Norwegians have forgotten themselves.
Perhaps these who valiantly fought against Hitler would spin in their graves for the actions of Norway of today.
The united Europe was Hitler's concept. Hitler lost the war, but Nazism was not defeatred. It only took different shapes. And Norway is proud part of it. Norwegian traitors won in the long run.
Think about it.
In 1941 Norwegian Nazis in Waffen SS attacked Serbia. During the war, Norsemen in Norway helped deported Serbs to survive harsh Norwegian climate.
Hard to make judgement who was the better representative of true Norwegian spirit. I tend to believe those who were not in Waffen SS.
In 1999 Norway assisted in aggression on Serbia for the second time in 20th century to murder Serb civilians, on behalf of terrorists on the ground. The very same terrorists who were selling heroin to Norwegian children.
Only this time, there were no decent Norwegians in sight. Norwegian media willified the Serbs with the same propaganda templates Nazi propaganda used to willify Jews.
And continued with impunity to the present day. Last week, Albanian terrorists, in previously orchestrated action, destroyed 35 Christian ancient churches (search FR) destroyed 900 homes, murdered scores and forced 4000 people to flee for their lives. Admiral Johnson, NATO South Command called it ethnic cleansing.
What was the reaction of Norwegian media?
Dagblatt wrote: " Ga falsk informasjon til media AMBASSADØR: Serbia og Montenegros ambassadør i Norge, Vida Ognjenovic, mener hun må ha blitt forledet."
Dagbladet chose to reinforce the terrorist lie. One debunked by the chief of UN police in Kosovo.
Dagbladet article was direct support to terrorists who were commiting crimes against humanity on the ground.
It has very little resemblance with the actions of the heroes of Telemark, but has hell of a lot resemblance with Norwegian Nazi activities in WWII.
It was an act of helping Norwegian NAZI friends, not Norwegian Allied friends.
Think about it.
No, I do not have anything against Norway, nor against Norwegians as a people.
However, I do have agaist Nazis, regardless of their provenance. And the fact is, Nazis do get their ugly head out, only under different banner today. In Norway and elsewhere.
Nazism, guised as "human rights" "concern of Palestrinians" "against Zionism" etc. is getting free pass. Although seen before in Hitler's concern for Sudetten Germans. Duty of anti-Nazis is to speak out against it, like anti-communists did.
In the late 1980's and early 1990's Norway was key entry point for Kosovo Albanian "political refugees" into EU and Norway became financial base for KLA terrorists. Money gotten by peddling heroin to Norwegian youth was used to finance terrorist activities in Kosovo. During that time, Norwegian official policy only repeated extremist lies, staunchly Anti-Serbian.
Then came 1999. Agression against Serbia was AGAINST NATO Charter, and Norway became party in mass slaughter of civilians. I am fully aware Norwegian F-16 did not carry any ordnance in bombing of Serbia. Comparable to unarmed driver assisting in home invasion ending in multiple homicide.
Then came NATO ocupation of Kosovo. 250,000 people, Serbs, Roma and many others were forcibly driven out. How Norwegian KFOR troops behaved? they harrased the remaining Serbs.
The events starting in March 17 showed Norwegian KFOR can wise up once poor innocent Kosovo Albanians, purveyors of Heroin to Norway, started shooting at them.
Perhaps Norwegian media will wise up as well. Hopefully. But the "we were wrong" attitude will not change much after all mayhem done.
NATO caused damage worth $60B and destruction of livelihood for milions. Once, anti-Nazi Norwegians and Serbs were allies and friends. Once, Norway built a Nordic cultural center in Serbia as a token of friendsip. But it was long ago. I guess it mattered only to Norwegians who are dead by now.
Norwegian actions against Serbs are not Serbian problem. It is Norwegian problem.
Ah, depressing to read that; I was in Norway during the first Gulf War (among many other visits to that great nation) but have not been back since about 1994.
Sorry that my nation has lost the regard of so many of your countrymen, Euro, but thank you personally for standing by us. Norwegian special operations forces were with us in Afghanistan, and Norwegian F-16s backed us up. Good guys, brave, heirs to Viking heritage.

I know that English is your second language and maybe Latin (root of this word) not at all, but I think it is important to note:
Millennium (note two n's) from mille (thousand) and annum (years). Means, 1000 years.
Millenium (note one n) from mille (thousand) and anum (anus). Means, 1000, er, sphincter muscles.
Example: "Were there many protesters at the rally?" "Yes. At least a millenium!"

Yeah. One of the things I liked best about my travels to Norway was getting books in the Norwegian language about Resistance actions, and heroes. Most of those books are never translated into English. I find reading Norsk to be kind of like trying to keep up with Nordmenn on skis. Very difficult but worth the effort.
Anyone who visits Oslo even for a day, don't miss the Resistance Museum at Åkershus. The whole story of the nuclear sabotage is told there, along with many other daring acts.
One guy survived a Gestapo ambush of the fishing boat landing him, and escaped wounded, overland to Sweden. On the way he got frostbite and had to cut off his gangrenous toes. He was still alive on my last visit to Norway and a Norwegian acquaintance knew him, but it was winter and he very sensibly was wintering someplace warm -- Italy I think.
Those few resistance men, backed by the will of the people, helped keep over a million Germans tied down in Norway. If caught they were killed or put in a concentration camp, one of the inventions brought to Norway by the Nazis. All those Germans surrendered to the Resistance in the end.
Some of them have the nerve to come back on tours with the wife and kids! "This is where I was in the war. Isn't it beautiful?"
