“This is probably the clearest May 8th speech that the king has held,” says Harald Stanghelle, author of the book “The King tells” and commentator in Aftenposten. He believes it remains as an important speech that made a strong impression. – There is also a very strong symbolic effect in the fact that this is the first speech King Harald holds at a court, as far as I can remember. The place where Norwegians were executed. It is very strong, says Stanghelle. 80 years after Norway again became a free country after World War II, the king marked the release day in the Trandum Forest in Ullensaker. It has been called the “death forest”. The place where 194 resistance people were executed by the German occupying power during World War II. Shot, killed and laid in mass graves. The vast majority were Norwegians. Some were Soviets and British. All were men, many of them just just about to go with adulthood. More than half of those who were executed in the Trandum Forest were under 30 years. The youngest were only 19, according to trandum.no. The killings were long kept hidden. The court was secret. Only after the liberation, in June 1945, was the mass graves in the forest discovered and opened. Arrested war criminals indicted for land fraud during World War II were taken from the prison to participate in the excavations of the mass graves following the executions in the Trandum Forest.

Today he was back. “Today we celebrate that it is 80 years since the jubilant happy day in our country’s history: The liberation from the occupation on May 8, 1945. But it was not a day of joy for everyone,” said King Harald in his speech today. -The war continued to throw long shadows into the lives of innocent people: Jews, Skeive, Romans, children of NS members. Children with Norwegian mother and German father. Leave who had lost their loved ones. For some, the war never quit. In order to be able to move on after a war, there will only be room for one truth about heroes and villains, the king said. – But eventually we must endure to see injustice that has been committed, and that there are several truths. This is a painful but necessary work for which we have a shared responsibility. All King Harald’s speech in Trandumskogen Storting President Prime Minister Dear All together, they were 19 and 20 years old. Ragnar Fredriksen and Erling Karlsen from Kristiansand. They were friends. Erling was described as the quiet and pondering of them. Ragnar the cheerful and lively. The archives state that Erling was a fishing worker and Ragnar clerk. They became opponents. In August 1942, they were arrested by the Germans for planning sabotage against Wehrmacht. In June the following year, they were executed here at Trandum. Their names are written on two of the tomb supports behind the wall here. They will forever be only 19 and 20 years old. What were they willing to risk freedom and life for? We will never know what they thought about what they had been doing. But they must have had a clear idea of \u200b\u200ba necessity. That they had to do what they could to make Norway again a free and independent country. In order for Norwegians to again live free lives. And that it was worth risking your own life. The gloomy secret that the Trandum Forest had been a place of residence for resistance people was only revealed after the war. 194 Biks were dug up: 173 Norwegians, 15 Soviets and six British. They were dug up by hand, without protective equipment, by Norwegian and German Nazis, as punishment. Dear everyone, today we celebrate that it is 80 years since the jubilant happy day in our country’s history: the liberation from the occupation, May 8, 1945. But it was not a happy day for everyone. The war continued to throw long shadows into the lives of innocent people: Jews, Skeive, Romans. Children of NS members. Children with Norwegian mother and German father. Leave who had lost their loved ones. Many had lost so much. For some, the war never quit. The story of a war is always complex. In order to be able to move on together as people, there is initially just space for one story, one truth about heroes and villains. But eventually we must endure to see injustice that has been committed and that there are several truths. This is a painful but necessary work for which we have a shared responsibility. Ragnar Fredriksen and Erling Karlsen knew what they fought for and were willing to die for. What is it worth fighting for today? When we talk about protecting our freedom and our values \u200b\u200b- what does it really mean? In the world, this means, among other things, to show mutual respect for borders. That we respect international laws and regulations. That we can work with and trust each other within a community of allied states. A community that was just built on the ruins of World War II – to prevent new world wars. In Norway, it means having a government where the majority acknowledge that one of their most important tasks is to preserve the minority. Where no one stands above the law, and where all people are worth equally. In the local area, in our everyday lives, we protect our values \u200b\u200bby avoiding spreading lies, but talking true. To take responsibility for your own mistakes and actions. To care, to be decent with each other. By not only being concerned with protecting ourselves, but taking care of more around us. Erling and Ragnar stood together and took care of each other. On the night of June 28, 1943, they were torn down by their sleep in their prison cells at Akershus. It was told that they were in arm in the arm when the death sentence was read to them. Then they were driven here to Trandum to be executed. After the war, they were found in grave # 16. Ragnar and Erling lay side by side in each coffin. Did they die in vain? No, not if we manage to stand together to protect what they died for. I am the third Norwegian king who has taken the election language “Everything for Norway”. It means to sacrifice everything – including life – for Norway’s freedom and independence. Ragnar Fredriksen and Erling Karlsen were two of the many who gave their lives for us to live as free people in free and independent Norway today. We all owe them all a big thank you they gave everything to Norway. – Thought -provoking and dark speech Harald Stanghelle points out that the walking line from this part of the king’s speech, back to another historical speech he gave in 1992. The speech it then quite fresh the king held ahead of the party monument in Kiberg in Kiberg in Vard\u00f8 that August day in 1992, made a strong impression on the audience. King Harald was there to make up for the injustice the survivors of the killed Kiberg Partisans had been exposed to. King Harald’s speech in front of the party monument in Kiberg in 1992, made a strong impression on the audience. Photo: Lise \u00c5serud \/ NTB – It can be painful to have to see the story in a new light, the king said. The fact that the king again has to remind that we must admit injustice that has been committed, and that this is not a day of joy for everyone, is thought provoking, says Stanghelle. – To be a speech at the liberation anniversary, it is a very thought -provoking and in a sense dark speech, he says. – There is also some thought -provoking that this is happening in a phase of history where we again have war in Europe and have started talking about fear of war here, Stanghelle adds. King Harald about his choice language: – Ultimately, means sacrificing life for Norway – what is it worth fighting for today? When we talk about protecting our freedom and our values, what does it really mean? King Harald asked the rhetorical question in his speech in the Trandum Forest tonight. He replied himself: – In the world, this means, among other things, to show mutual respect for borders. That we respect international laws and regulations. That we can cooperate and trust each other within a community of allied states, the king said. – In Norway, it means having a government where the majority acknowledge that one of their most important tasks is to preserve the minority. Where no one stands above the law, and where all people are worth equally. – In the local area, in our everyday lives, we protect our values \u200b\u200bby avoiding spreading lies, but talking true. To take responsibility for your own mistakes and actions. To care and be good with each other. By not only being concerned with protecting ourselves, but taking care of more people around us, King Harald said. He told about the two friends Ragnar Fredriksen and Erling Karlsen from Kristiansand. 19 and 20 years old. They became opponents during the war. In June 1943, they were among the total 194 who were executed in the Trandum Forest. Did they die in vain? “No, not if we manage to stand together to protect what they died for,” said King Harald. – I am the third Norwegian king who has taken the election language “Everything for Norway”. It means to sacrifice everything – including life – for Norway’s freedom and independence. – Ragnar Fredriksen and Erling Karlsen were two of the many who gave their lives for us to live today as free people in a free and independent Norway. We all owe them all a big thank you. They gave everything to Norway, the king ended his speech with. STANGHELLE: – Underlining a Norwegian view that is not sharply shared by the US president, says Harald Stanghelle. – I think it is strong that the king links Ragnar Fredriksen and Erling Karlsen to their own choice language. It is also the seriousness of our time that makes it so strong, he says. He also notices that the king emphasizes the importance of being able to trust allied states – just shortly after US President Donald Trump mentioned King Harald in very positive order when Norway’s Prime Minister Jonas Gahr St\u00f8re and Finance Minister Jens Stoltenberg visited Trump in the White House. “What the king says is a strong emphasis on a Norwegian view of the need for a world order that is unfortunately not shared by the US president,” says Stanghelle. – It is interesting that he says that you have to trust each other. Especially because Trump has done his best to comment in a way that undermines that one can trust each other, both in terms of the security guarantee and that he wants to take Greenland from Denmark. Earlier today, King Harald and Crown Prince Haakon were present at the celebration of the Day of Liberation and the National Veterans Day at Akershus Fortress – and on that occasion drove in the iconic royal car A1: Published 08.05.2025, at. 18.14
