Scientific Essay from the year 2025 in the subject History of Europe - Ages of World Wars, grade: -, University of Mannheim, language: English, abstract: This article examines Norwegian academics (celticists, historians, etc.) and their confrontation with the German authorities in Norway between 1940 and 1945. Prof. Dr. Carl Johan Sverdrup Marstrander (1883-1965), Professor of Celtic Languages in the University of Oslo (1913-1954), spent time in prison on three occasions during the German occupation of Norway (1940-45), seemingly for patriotic reasons on the one hand and in opposition to the German presence in Norway on the other. This article looks more closely at the detention not only of Marstrander himself but also that of his son Kai Sverdrup and two colleagues Prof. Dr. Anton Wilhelm Br gger and Dr. Sigurd Jebsen Grieg, and considers the circumstances of their opposition vis-à-vis the German authorities in Norway at the time.
