And i who was waiting in excitement on the middle part of norway:P

Anyway, great video, makes me be proud of being a norwegian! cant understand why norwegians escape this country at summer.. Its the most beautiful place on earth to be=)

You're totally right. My sincerest apologies - I totally overlooked Nordland. XD I feel tempted to redo the entire video... I'll have to make up for it at some point.

@andreasluu Sorry, he was 3 years old. My mistake.

[andreasluu]

The brothers and the family got caught by the germans, the brothers got tortured so that they would leak information, yet they didn't leach a single word. Also my grandad has some old films that he's trying to show me, it's a lot of how their lives those days were. He's now 73 years old, and have come after a lot of illness. He's the wisest man I know. ~Just thought I'd share it with you guys, in case you might find it interesting. Best wishes, Norway, we love you!

My grandad was about 10 years old when the germans entered his village, he told me what they got for christmas, it was basically clothing and if he was really lucky he'd get an orange (rare at this time). He also told me about his friends (brothers, now dead.) hided a British Radio listener up in the mountains, they provided them food and whatever else they could offer, but the germans found the location and luckily the family managed to give a signal so that the british people could get away.

I am proud to be norwegian! I live in Østfold norway now, but half my family is from Aalesund and Eide (Really close to Geiranger) The people from Aalesund (my grandad's family) were mostly fishermen, and the people from Eide were mostly farmers in eide my great uncle and aunt has the family farm still, I love being in Eide, The area around Aalesund were quite heavily invaded during 2nd world war, I am often talking with my grandad about the war, its interesting -

@da199011 haha you're right, how silly of me... I looked up my source for the photo again, someone posted it on the internet saying that it was Oslo, but then everyone else jumped on her later because it was actually Austin, Texas! My greatest apologies, if I ever redo the video this will be fixed, but I'm not sure I have all the original files to do so anymore. :(
