A WWII Tale Brought to Life with Bob Ellertsen


Back by popular demand… 📖


We’re thrilled to welcome back Bob Ellertsen, who returns to share stories from a powerful book he translated from Norwegian to English: Farsund’s Occupation History by Johannes Seland.


Get ready to dive into the gripping true story of life in the Norwegian seaport town of Farsund and the nearby farms of Lista during the German occupation of Norway (1940–1945). Seland, the book’s author, wasn’t just a witness—he was an active member of the Norwegian resistance, making this account both deeply personal and historically rich.


Come hear about bravery, resilience, and the fight for freedom—told through the lens of a small coastal town with a big story to tell.
