Report From #24: The Thrilling Tale of Norways Most Decorated World War II Hero | 
I went downtown yesterday and snapped a few pictures.
The first is this statue. Standing below the royal caste, between the national theatre and the first university.
This is Gunnar Sønsteby. He fought against the Nazis in WWII and had several code names like “nr. 24” and “Kjakan”. He is Norway‘s highest decorated citizen.
The location of his statue is where he stood April 9 1940 when the Nazis invaded the country and walked down Karl Johan.
AnneCecilie This was the place and moment, he decided to fight against the Nazis. #foodandlit #Norway @Texreader @Butterfinger 4y
