H7 Escapes the Nazis (Part II of II)
For five years, King Håkon, or H7 as loyal Norwegians would come to call him in their hastily scrawled grafitti, led the resistance from Britain. In radio messages and through the press, he urged Norwegians to remain above all, Norwegian in mind and spirit, and too keep fighting for their country. He returned home on June 7, the exact anniversary of his departure, a hero of the Norwegian resistance and of the restoration.

The Nine Day Queen
Most historians have a hero or heroine, one person they admire and respect for reasons known only to them. These reasons may be diverse; a similar idiosyncrasy perhaps, unbelievable courage and bravery, or a tenacity that we cannot help but acknowledge.
