Introduction
Sten Angel Danielsen served as an officer in the Norwegian military police (Rikspoliti), in the late days of the second world war. Sten was witness to the invasion of Norway in 1940, 9th of April. As well as the harsh German occupation in the city of Fredrikstad. He took part in both World War II and The Cold War.

1940
In 1940 Sten Angel Danielsen was witness to the German invasion of Norway which was a part of the German Operation Weserübung. During the first bombing of Fredrikstad, Sten Angel Danielsen and his family were evacuated to a bunker with the other local residents of Fredrikstad. His mother sent him back home during the bombing of the city, because his mother forgot to turn off the stove. This made the other people who shared the bunker with Sten and family get a bad impression of his mother. Sten Angel successfully turned off the stove in their home without being victim of the Blitzkrieg, and got safely back to the bunker.

1941
1941 would be the year Sten's father would be caught stealing potatoes from the germans. He was sent to one of the concentration camps in Finnmark, where he would remain until the Liberation of Finnmark. Sten Angel and his family presumed that his dad had been executed by the Gestapo. So he decided a few months later to cross the Swedish border with his mother. They were given help by the Swedes and put in a refugee camp. Although Sten would not linger in the refugee camp. He joined the Norwegian police troops in Sweden.

1942-1943
No mentionable happenings in Sten Angel's history rather than further training in the secret military camps.

1944
In October 1944 Soviet troops entered Finnmark. The British ordered the thoroughly trained police troops to be immediately be sent to Finnmark as to assist the Soviets. This marked the beginning of the Liberation of Finnmark. When the Norwegians made contact with the Soviets they cooperated in pushing out the Germans out of Finnmark. During this operation Sten Angel fought hard and fiercely, according to eyewitnesses he killed over fifty Germans with no remorse. Sten had such a great hate for Germans after they took his father.

1945
The brave Soviet and Norwegian troops fought bravely against the wehrmacht until the 8th of May when Nazi Germany capitulated. Some still tried to fight, but most were taken prisoners and sent back to Germany. During the evacuation of work camps in Finnmark the frail and weak prisoners were loaded onto trucks and thrown in the ditches in Finnmarksvidda. This turned into a horrific sight of countless corpse piles. Luckily for Sten, his father was found alive in one of these corpse piles. He was the only alive in the area he was found. Sten's father recovered after the war, but never fully.

The Rikspoliti returned to Oslo victorious and most were awarded medals, and among them were Sten Angel Danielsen. The former head of the Nasjonal Samling, Vidkun Quisling was put under a trial and sentenced to execution by firing squad. While he was imprisoned before the trial and during the trial Sten was one of the bodyguards making sure Vidkun Quisling stayed in his cell. Sten would also witness the execution of Quisling.

1947-1950s
