    My grandparents lived in the area during WWII. The Germans behaved like animals to the local community. They would rob farmers, and steal food, milk and fish. My grandfather couldn`t stand Germans as long as he lived. He never forgave them for what they did during WWII. Hitler sent one of the worst nazis to run Norway during the war, and he was a crazy psychopath. His name was Josef Terboven. He was very evil. Terboven ordered the attack on Telavåg, and was even present went they destroyed the village.

    During FEB 23 - MAR 12, 2024 I am invited to visit my Danish-American family in Idaho, Utah and Nevada, and my grand cousin, Annette has recommended me to read "The Viking Heart" and I am very enligthended by just been reading the preface, and I look forward to read the rest of this brillant book. And I am also profoundly inspired by this video from Mr. Hermans lecture in Washington Lodge Sons of Norway, and thankful to Mr. Herman for his lecture and Washingdon Lodge Sons of Norways for their kindly publishing the lecture on UA-cam ... 🙂 Sometimes you talk about The American Dream and brillant Walt Disney is quoted, that "It you can dream, you can do it". Well, I have an impossible dream, that someday, UN, EU and the Nordic countries might together make it possible, that every single 8 billion World Citizens could have a World Citizen account, receiving A-Dollar-A-Day, sponsored by global consciousness, care and capacity, cf www.humanity.dk To prevent poverty, hunger, terrorism and war and to encourage human welfare, creativity, integrity and prosperity. And I wonder, if "The Viking Heart" and "The American Dream" together might be able to form a transatlantic bridge in order to provide Equality in Human Kind & Greenity on Planet Earth Well, if you can dream it, you can do it ... first step might be a song: humanity.dk/Three%20World%20Citizen%20Hymns%20%26%20Cash.mp4

    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.

    • @wderoche

      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,
