Synopsis

Nielsen, in his own translation from his 1992 text in Norwegian (he taught English as a second language in Norway for 26 years), tells the story of the mountain guerrilla base 40 miles from Bergen where he served during the last year of WWII. This is a personal and vivid account, carefully written and supplemented by photos, but Nielsen has done his research too, providing us with historical details of the Germans in Norway, as well as the larger context of the rest of the Allies in their final push to defeat the Nazis.
