This is a short documentary about Norwegian guerilla warfare during World War II. The ELG (Norwegian word for moose) base was an operation by the organized Norwegian resistance (Mil.Org, though the details are a little bit more complicated than that. Won't go into that here though.) during World War II, and was active from November 1944 until shortly after the war ended in May 1945. The leader for the operation was Paul M. Strande (b. 1912, d. 2008), my grandfather. This documentary made by the Norwegian broadcasting corporation (NRK) in 1994 visits Vassfaret and other areas where ELG was active. The majority of the documentary is interviews with Paul M. Strande, in addition to Nils Viker, Hugo Munthe-Kaas and Rolf Langum, who were also active in various capacities in Operation ELG.
I've edited the documentary slightly by adding a few photos at certain points, particularily in the last few minutes of the video. I've also added English subtitles, so turn those ON on the video if you don't understand Norwegian! I hope this is of value to some viewers out there; it is history that deserves to be remembered and seen by more than a few select historians and history buffs on closed or limited platforms, which is why I'm sharing this on KZbin.
Please note: For the subtitles I've chosen to focus on the content of what's being said, not a word-by-word translation which rarely makes sense anyways. An example of this is that the direct translation could be "We landed on ice- and snow-covered water" when in reality the landing was on the ice- and snow-covered small lake Fjellvann, and the translation is then "We landed on an ice-covered pond". I've also made some concious choices with regards to which terms to translate to. "Sub-bases" is for example used instead of "Billeting Areas" (BA) which was the actual term used at the time. These choices have been made both as a result of background knowledge but also to make the content more easily understandable to younger generations.
