- Henry Rinnan, one of eight children of a shoemaker, was born on 14 May 1915 in the Norwegian town of Levanger. The Second World War started on 1 September 1939 with the German invasion of Poland. During the Winter War which was fought between 30 November 1939 and 13 March 1940, Henry Rinnan tried to enlist with the Finns to fight against the Soviet Union, but was rejected due to his poor physique as the army rejected people with dentures and Rinnan had dentures in his upper mouth. The German invasion of Norway began on 9 April 1940, and two months later, on 10 June 1940, Norway fell to Germany. During the invasion, Rinnan drove a truck for the Norwegian Army.
In January 1942, Henry Rinnan recruited three agents for his operations. At the beginning, the members of the Rinnan’s unit were only involved in intelligence and infiltration. The group - which later consisted of around 50 - 60 Norwegian informants - was known as Sonderabteilung Lola - meaning the Special Unit Lola - or after the war as the Rinnan gang as they all worked for Henry Rinnan. Rinnan worked closely with the German Security Police in Trondheim, where his main contacts were German officers Walter Gemmecke and Gerhard Flesch - a commander of the security service and security police in Trondheim. Rinnan is said to have been very impressed by Flesch, both as a tall, handsome man with a great uniform and the power he had to decide over life and death in his district. Flesch usually listened to Rinnan's advice when the Gestapo planned an operation and is said to have personally tortured prisoners in Rinnan's presence.
The Rinnan group was not formally a part of the Nazi Party intelligence service the SD until 1943 when Rinnan received a formal position within the occupation. Before this, he had reported on people in the resistance to Flesch and Gemmecke, so that these people were arrested, tortured and possibly killed, or put in concentration camps. From 1943 however, their activities were expanded to include torture, murder and military action. From September 1943, the group had a base at Jonsvannsveien 46 in Trondheim, which after the war became known as Gang cloister. This base was equipped with cells and torture chambers in the basement, where several were killed under torture.

What a story, he really thought it was all fun and games even in court. Amazing video World History, thank you for your work.
Thank you Terka. Great to have viewers like you. Greetings to you and your family.
Let me guess,, he cried and said "I was just following orders"
Länsimaiden tiedustelupalveluiden kuulustelijat olivat sodan jälkeen juutalaisia.
Rest in peace for the victims in Norway amen
2:36 he was 5 foot three inches in “length“… He was described as “confident“… I bet!!
They say in this documentary that he was liked at school. The truth is that he was bullied at school because he was so little. Even as adult he was only 161 cm high. This is significant to why he later become a torturer! It`s not a excuse ofcourse, but it is a part of the story!
A short guy with a bad attitude. Very common.
are you saying he was a heightCel?
Very well covered case, as always. thanks for this and look forward to further documentaries.
Well, during the Second World War there were those who fought against the Nazis and those who supported their killing machinery, even betraying their families, friends and country. I hope that I will never have to face such evil and if I do, I do believe that I will make the right decision. Great video World History, thank you so much for your hard work.
His kids getting persecuted even after he was gone was wrong also.
Nothing unusual for Norway. Read about discrimination and torturing of Norwegian citizens who were born from German servicemen. Torturing ranged from teacher's initiated bulling and beating of half-German school students to detention in prisons and widely spread in incest affected Norway psychiatrics facilities till 1970s (could be later in some rural incest practicing places). Some of those half-Germans were used for medical experimentations allegedly conducted under government research programs.
There was a huge lawsuit against Norwegian government on this crime against humanity in 2007. The probably most known victim of such discrimination is the brunette from ABBA pop group, who got lucky to get refuge in Sweden.
@@lisapet160yes ww2 was a fd up war. I lost family in croatia to mo stars worse than the ss. The ss thought they were brutal. That should show how bad they were. The ustase. They made the ss look like boy scouts. They were true fanatics, and brutal, and just killed any way they could.
Well, but it was a national post war trauma. Look around. Do you see more consequenses caused by WWII even till this day?
In 2005 I spoke to a German historian student. He said that the Germans took the responsibility post WWII, and that the Germans never really got to speak their opinion. I can see that, I replied, but remember in a historic perspective it happened only 60 years ago.Maybe the time is yet not right. The German looked at me and smiled but didn't say anything. I don't know what that ment
edit. If 60 years is not enough, how can we expect that everything fell to place the first decade post war?
What is a butcher's gun? I'm guessing it's a more primitive but larger pen gun?
Love the narrators voice. Thank you for sharing this. The truth must always be told.
George Orwell’s book “1984” describes a totalitarian state where you could be arrested for “thought crime”. The story of Rinnan and his colleagues inviting people to engage in conversation about the Nazi occupation reminded me of the paranoia that goes with living in a society where no one is safe, guilty and innocent suffer equally and all you have is your minute by minute existence.
Thought crime is alive and well and living on the u.k
@@thebossdebz3060same here in canada
You mean like searching PubMed for research supporting the notion that an ill fitting/leaky paper mask will prevent the spread of airborne viruses? Except there aren’t any affirming that and you happened to mention that and got threatened with removing your medical license. That kind of thought control?
@@thebossdebz3060, how so?
@@guitarplayer5932, how so?
I wonder what these psychopaths would have done with their lives if it had not been for WW2?
I wonder that a lot about the upper brass of the Nazis, say for instance, Albert Speer. He could've been a successful architect in his own right without Hitler's backing. But these guys probably had psychopathic tendencies to begin with and would've found an outlet for them in one way or another.
They could be member of the IDF, maybe?
@@optimistx4187 Give us Is Lambs Benifits to the world? Why should anyone allow you in civilized societies?

@@optimistx4187 Oh don't you even frigging go there. This page is about history. There's always at least one terrorist-lover who has to jump in and try to make this about Israel. Well you're in the extreme minority and all you're doing is showing your true bigoted colors.
The man was an evil little traitor to Norway. RIP his victims. A very sad and disturbing case.
Miljoonat norjalaiset tukivat saksalaisia tai mukautuvat heidän miehityksen. Vuonna 1940 oli tilanne jossa britit aikoivat miehittää Norjan, Saksa ennätti ensin. Kun katsoo nykyistä Eurooppaa ja sen valkoisen kansan hidasta kuolemaa ja väestön vaihtoa, olisi ollut parempi jos Saksa olisi voittanut.
His children did not deserve to be mistreated; shame on they who acted in such a manner.
Hard to believe people like this can be found in life..Just the same as today.
This sounds like a Sherlock Holmes radio program.
...I find This Guys Appearance closely resembles Ted Bundy!!!...
Great information. Annoying narrator.
I think that the narrator or did a good job - British accent
@@williamplayfair9670 Accent fine, tone annoying.
👍
Textbook sociopath with narcissistic traits...
Too many repeats...site DELETED...
Evidently he had a bad case of LMS.
The syndrome is described as affecting those who are generally under 5'4" and are always angry. So you may well be right.
None
*It is believed Rinnan's three children cried many tears and were inconsolable at their father's death.*
*Let's also remember his victims' children must have cried many tears and been inconsolable at their loved ones' deaths too.*
@@WaferBrik
Exactly!!!
Nobied cares about Rinnan's children

Do you have stories about ( England's crime ) around the world, there are many out there
What on earth has that got anything to do with a Norwegian who was betraying his fellow countrymen during the time of the German occupation and a prime example of ‘whataboutery’.
Are you from the Nazi revival ? My dad was in the war . He knew what to do with Nazis . So did the Norwegians .
I think you are referring to the british empire, And possibly watching the wrong channel. You can thank us for penicillin later.
Name on country that didn’t go to war or did not commit crimes somewhere in history?!
Not one country has clean hands buddy.. not one
