- Sofia Hammer remembers the liberation of Stavanger Norway. This video was produced by William DeRoche and narrated by Patricia DeRoche. The pictures were provided by Sofia.
Stavanger is my town. My parents married in the frenzy that was liberation, my mother in a bridal gown made from parachute silk.
Very interesting. Would you like to write an article or do a RUclips video on your Parents wedding? I would be happyt to help.
Wow!
Thank you for posting this memory from the war. As a Norwegian born 30 years after the war I find this moving and it is also a reminder how precious freedom is!
As the daughter of an Australian WW2 veteran thank you for your video.... Australians were still fighting in the Pacific after peace came to Europe but we respect your fight and our Australian father's fight against facism.
In 1940 Dad was with the British 151 Heavy AA battery on the Island of Skaanland. Captured later on Crete he spent most of the war mining coal in Piaski Poland and was part of the Long Death March across Europe from 19th Jan 1945 before liberation just south of Regensburg 2-3 months later .
Very moving to me, my uncle was a GI in Europe and he could not speak of his experiences either. They were just to painful,but thank God you and your country are free. Thank you to all the service men and women who did it.
Thank you Great Britain. So much is owed by so many to so few. 🇬🇧🇳🇴
Excellent short presentation.

Thank you for the story. I like it so much more when it’s personal stories. The actual people who went through it.
Deserves more views. Thank you.
Thank you for your video. It's really brilliant.
Very interesting and well done. People should never forget how Europe suffered during ww2
Suffered because of zionists....
А СССР?
People should be aware that it wasn't the Germans who started, or wanted a continent-wide war at all. That is all part of the feel-good myth that we've been programmed with ever since.
Your story is deep and moving. Thang GOD your free
Very interesting to witness liberation for a different place in Europe. Were they thinking about victory celebrations in Paris and London or swept up in events in Norway?
Great question. The May 9th marked the both the end of the war in Europe and the liberation of Norway. Other countries such as France and Belgime were liberated well before VE day Most account indicated that Norway suffered more that other countries so the the liberation was especially welcomed.
I used to sure that the Norwegians were fine in world war 2, until I heard a history professor say that during world War 2 there were prison camps for prisoners from Serbia, and the treatment of the Serbs by the Norwegians guards was very brutal. according to the professor, the treatment of the Norwegians guards was much more brutal than the treatment of the gestapo.
Things could have gone so much different. If Hitler wasn't quite as stupid and allied Germany with the Soviets instead of wasting so many divisions of his army to go to war with them. Imagine Germany and the USSR working together to defeat the West. Or if Germany had gotten a nuke before the USA. I think we're all very lucky.
I agree. Part of the reason that kept them from working together is that Hitler and Stalin did not trust each other, and their egos got in the way of corporation. This was also true of Hitler and Mussolini. The ability of allied leaders such as Churchill and Roosevelt to trust and corporate was a factor in the victory,
Nazism and Bolshevism were ideological enemies and there is no way there could have been any kind of long term alliance between the two. Plus the Nazis saw the Russians as well as all Slavs as subhumans fit only for slavery.
very smart Military Power🌏🌎🌍🌎🌎
हजुरहरू सबैलाई नमस्कार छ🌏🏝
I hope to live long enough to see America liberated...again
From Socialism? Its coming
People from Norway are cool.
Se dokumentären europa the last battle. Vakna, svensk och norsk..
That’s a Neo-Nazi film, correct?
@@azul8811 what inside this documentary is "neo-nazi"? It is just a documentary
@@pondusenglanq8563 Nothing that I could detect. However, I suspect that the documentary that the OP of this thread cited, i.e., Europe the Last Battle is.
@@azul8811 it is just a documentary showing the other side of the coin.
@@pondusenglanq8563 Wikipedia describes it as an English-language Swedish ten-part Neo-Nazi propaganda film directed, written and produced by Tobias Bratt, a Swedish far-right activist associated with the Nordic Resistance Movement, a European neo-Nazi movement.
It promotes antisemitic conspiracy theories, including Holocaust denial.
What did the German soldiers in Norway do after the surrender? Did they just sit and wait for the British to show up to take them prisoner? Was there some kind of Norwegian authority to do that? There was no way for them to be transported back to Germany without Allied intervention

Bedre med ns.
This was a period in time when men where men and women were women. Things meant something in life. And we were not about to let someone take our freedom. Give me liberty or give me death that was battle cry. And with our faith in God and much prayer we prevailed over the enemy. Oh how we have changed prayerless godless country and it shows it.
Really. Women in the US were manufacturing ammunition and building military equipment during WW2. And today, with fanatical people who defile their religion who are in charge in many places and spreading hatred of other people, it is morally reprehensible but they shall by punished by the religion they falsely espoused in the name of dominating people.
This is complete nonsense. People not god won and lost the war and prayer is pointless.
There was no liberation.
Were you there?
Germany is an odd Country. Even the modern Germans today, come over as Robotic and dull. They have caused such misery to the peoples of Europe.
