German soldiers marching down Karl Johans gate (the Royal Palace in the background) on April 9th 1940Though I was born a decade later , the date of April 9th 1940 was an important date when I grew up. I remember a ceremony one year at school when I read the speech of King Haakon as he and Crownprince Olav fled Oslo and barely escaped the Germans.
I just found a text about the German occupation of Norway published, in English, by the Norwegian government on their website.
