Damn that guy was a Norwegian National hero and a remarkable man, 101 years old is a amazing age though.

 

[Wayland]

They were made of stern stuff those guys...

He'll be remembered for a long while yet.

 

[Skaukraft]

One of my heroes.
Hvil i fred.

 

[Outdoordude]

Sounds like a really good bloke. Must of taken some balls to do an operation like that. R.I.P to him.

In the days when any muppet can be described as a 'legend' its good to see what a real legend looked like and how he lived.
The heros of Telemark also make excellent ammunition to fire back at americans with their tedious claims to have "Saved your asses in WWII"
I always congratulate them of their English, and politely enquire about how things are in Norway, when this has confused them I point out that they must be Norwegian as the Heros of Telemark are the people who effectively won WWII. As corporal Jones would have said " they dont like it up 'em'
