About this audio guide
This guide to Norway's Resistance Museum at Akershus Fortress in Oslo follows Knut Haugland, a young radio operator in the Norwegian resistance during the German occupation. It takes you onto the Hardangervidda plateau in the autumn of nineteen forty-two, and into an Oslo hospital attic where a hidden transmitter kept talking to London. Best heard just outside the entrance, beside the thick brick walls of the old fortress.
