      I don't think they'd hate paid vacations, crystal clean air and water, super strict food standards, being able to take a train from Oslo to Bergen, or fly to Spain etc etc.
      If you on the other hand mean they were 100% white, well they were probably opposed to being white anyway lol, all ancient European nations imported as many migrants from Africa as they could, it was just harder to do back then. Whites hate themselves.

      It looks like the police station is the one in Møllergata 19, next to Youngstorget. This is also the very same stairs that Vidkun Quisling would surrender after the German capitualtion in 1945.

      Egentlig har du utallige forfedre, og hvis du går langt nok tilbake, ville ikke alle dine forfedre ha vært Norskfødte og bærer Norske gener. Jeg er Norskfødt, men selv i familien har vi mange etniske blandinger. Vikingene pleide å handle over hele Europa og over hele verden, så deres gener finnes nesten overalt. De var sjøfolk og handelsmenn, og de blandet seg med mange andre etniske grupper. Det var her tidligere historikere gjorde det veldig galt, for i motsetning til populær tro hadde ikke Vikinger på seg hjelm og de var ikke alle 6 fot høye og alle Nordiske blond. Dette er så falskt og i dag, mer ærlige og åpne historikere og arkeaoligister finner mange nye fakta angående Vikingene. Sannheten er nå at de fleste Vikinger bare var ca. 5 fot 7 tommer høye, og mange var mørkhåret og mørkere, med mange til og med mørkere hudtoner. Hvorfor? Kanskje på grunn av deres opprinnelige Samiske forfedre og også fordi de blandet seg med mange andre Europeiske og ikke-Europeiske etniske grupper. Dette gir da mening for oss.

      It was the fashion of brave ladies at the time, to sort of copy men's attire. In a moderate style though.
      Some would even wear trousers, going biking...
      The skirt's hemline would shrink upwards around WWI.
      And fashion dictated a more uniform style dress.
      Some women would work outside the home, as men were at war.
      Norway was not involved in WWI, but new fashion trends were displayed in women's magazines.

    Great to see an old film in color. Technology is going forward, no doubt. Thanks for releasing such videos for us all to see, for free. It really brings us closer to the past. Then lets talk feedback on the conversion to color: The color palette is rather limited. Carrots are green, and other vegetables dont have any color to speak of. Most of the mens clothing is blue or purple? Girls dont wear colors? Skintones are to warm, most people back then would probably be more pale. But remember -these are minor complaints on an otherwise great video.
