Talk:Leif Grung

Some tweaking of the language
I tried to make the language flow a little more easily. I hope I didn't destroy any meaning. Apologies if I did! It might be good to add a few references for some of the statements made. --AndrewHowse 19:47, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Conflicting reports of Nazi collaboration
Hi Wikianers,

The English Wiki page states "Just a few days after his suicide, the first prisoners of war from Germany returned home. These first witnesses confirmed that during World War II, Grung had been an intermediary for the escape route across the North Sea to Great Britain and had sabotaged German building plans."

However, the Norwegian Wiki page states (with direct access to Norwegian-language sources quoted) that (my translation): "He himself said that he had been in contact with British agents, engaged in sabotage and spied on important military infrastructure at Laksevåg. No one could confirm this because both died in German captivity." This is a very different situation from having witnesses return from the war and confirm his story.

The fact of his having been awarded the Houen Foundation Award in 1949 points to his story having been believed postmortem, but the two differing explanations should be reconciled.
