If you are interested in something like this, a documentary has also been made about the history and escape of Jan Baalsrud as the film the 12th man is based on. The documentary goes into more detail and the entire route is repeated by 1 from the Norwegian Army and 1 from the Norwegian Navy. This one says that is available in the whole world but is worse with subtitles so you may have to learn Norwegian. https://tv.nrk.no/serie/i-jan-baalsruds-fotspor/sesong/1/episode/6/avspiller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My late friend and I watched that over a year ago. It was a proper psychological thriller in the sense that we did wonder if the Nazis would catch him. We were rivetted from start to finish.

They were told early on that German warships were heading north and they did little. They also had a mobilization order for the army but it was sent out too late and by mail. There is a good TV series called Allied and Alone (Alliert og alene) that covers the invasion from those who were to defend the country and it gives me chills I really feel sorry for the poor people who were in this. Apart from Quisling; he was a treasonous dick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is an absolutely incredible story and so one almost does not think it is true but it is. It is a pity that the documentary about this story is not available in English as it goes into more detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have been exposed to the same thing as many Norwegians were by the Gestapo instead of being shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyslexic Viking Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 The area where I live first tractor. Think it's a Fordson? It was eventually used to run a sawmill, something it did for many years. Do not think it has survived. The owner was a farmer and forest owner who lived from 1895 to 1993. This is not a vehicle related image but include it since this is the same person with one of his timber stacks sometime in the 50's. Everything was chopped, barked and stacked by hand. The only aid was a horse. And the timber was floated down the river in the spring / summer. Really hard work.

phil_lihp Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Helping my parents sort through some very old photos, one album from a distant family member had several photos of this car in various places. None of them are particularly clear, I know nothing about cars of this era and couldn't even be sure which decade they're from, I'm guessing 1920s-1930s perhaps. Can anyone ID the car? I have no idea at all. Remspoor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah thank you, that makes sense, the family were based in London at that time. They seemed to be quite well off at that time, so I'm guessing the car is quite a posh one but I have pretty much zero knowledge of pre-war cars past knowing what a Ford Model T looks like.

American brands were much more popular than today, and most of them had a network of distributors and dealers across Europe.

First thoughts were a Crossley tourer (14 or 15 or something like that) because of the radiator grille but after looking at a few pics I don't think I was right at all. phil_lihp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Pic deliberately reversed). Still just a guess. Maybe check out other 1926 General Motors models. A Buick would have been a serious chunk of cash in 1926. 95 years ago.

JeeExEll Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Aftermarket padded fibreglass dash top designed for Cortina 1500GT gauges and a Mk1 Cortina 1500GT/Lotus armrest console. Wonder what engine it had. I'd be disappointed if I didn't hear the bark of twin 40s. Just needs Deep Purple 'Smoke On The Water' at full volume. Then converted to side windows. Those banded rims must have been heavy. Bit of negative camber at the front there, what a fantastic period van. sheffcortinacentre, Skut, warch and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
