I watched a powerful true story yesterday on Netflix called “Agent 24.” It’s about a Norwegian man and the resistance he led against the Nazi occupation of Norway in World War II. He and his team committed acts of destruction and assassination in answer to the hated Nazi actions against Norwegian citizens. After the war ended he worked professionally but toward the end of his life spoke of some of their exploits. One thing irked him in interviews and debates - people who tried to equate democracies with autocracies as well as having little patience for HISTORYLESS HISTORIANS AND IGNORANT JOURNALISTS. The Norwegian granted their highest medal for service to him. He died in 2012.
