They’ve got a lot to be legitimately proud of in WW2. Another good example is their sabotage of nazi heavy-water production. That significantly set back nazi research into nuclear weapons.

Cheers to my communist great grandpappy who was a station master in rural Norway and used his hidden radio to help derail a Nazi cargo train

If he didn’t die 40 years before I was born we’d be best friends I’m sure

There’s a movie about this, but with Denmark instead of Norway. It’s well done, I’ve seen it.

It’s actually not named that originally in Danish. It’s named “Under Sandet”, which means “Under The Sand”. I think this title is a little bit more poetic, and less on the nose than “Land of Mine” hahahha. Just some context, if you’re interested.

Imagine thinking it’s evil to make Nazis deal with the mines they themselves laid.
