Summary[edit]

Description
English: Photo taken at the Lofoten War Memorial Museum (Norwegian: Lofoten Krigsminnemuseum) in Svolvær, Norway's largest exhibition of uniforms and smaller items related to the Second World War, Nazi Germany and the German occupation of Norway 1940 – 1945:
  • Traditional, red, pointed, woolen knit cap (touque) with a tassel as a symbol of the Norwegian civil resistance and a demonstrative sign of protest against the occupying German troops in Norway during the Second World War 1940–1942
    • The Nordic Page Norway: Confiscated Christmas Cards and Banned Hats in Nazi Occupied Norway: During the Nazi occupation in the Second World War, there were a number of bans the Norwegian people had to follow. These prohibitions were implemented, among other things, to ensure that people should not influence each other to oppose the occupying power. The Norwegian Santa (Nisse) with its red hat is a central figure in Norwegian culture. Walking with red hat during the war was therefore seen as a silent protest against the Nazi occupying power. It became a symbol of resistance. Many therefore let their children go with red Nisse hat to show that they were against the occupation. On February 26, 1942, however, a ban on red hats and all items with those red hats was introduced. The hats were withdrawn and the criminal liability of children under 14 years was introduced for the parents. Also some Christmas cards with these nationalistic figures were banned.
  • Home made knitted mittens, with traditional Norwegian decorative pattern and monogram of king Haakon VII of Norway, the year "1940" and his motto Alt for Norge ("All for Norway, Everything for Norway")
    • Norway was invaded by Nazi Germany in April 1940. Haakon rejected German demands to legitimise the Quisling regime's puppet government, and refused to abdicate after going into exile in Great Britain. As such, he played a pivotal role in uniting the Norwegian nation in its resistance to the invasion and the subsequent five-year-long occupation during the Second World War. He returned to Norway in June 1945 after the defeat of Germany.
Norsk bokmål: Foto tatt i Lofoten Krigsminnemuseum i Svolvær, Norges største utstilling av uniformer og mindre gjenstander med tilknytning til andre verdenskrig og den tyske okkupasjonen av Norge 1940–1945:
  • Rød, strikkede topplue med dusk (nisselue) brukt som taust symbol på den norske sivile motstanden og protesten mot den tyske okkupasjonen av landet under andre verdenskrig
  • Kopi av avisannonse med følgende tekst: «Advarsel. Røde toppluer. Bruken av røde toppluer har tiltatt så sterkt i den senere tid at det fra nu av betraktes som demonstrasjon. Bruken av disse luer forbys dermed fra og med torsdag 26. februar 1942. Fra denne dag vil toppluer bli fratatt enhver som opptrer med sådanne og straffansvar gjort gjeldende mot vedkommende – for barn under 14 år – mot foreldre eller forestte. Trondheim politikammer, 23. februar 1942.»
