Rays by Ole Henrik Skjelstad

Last evening I encountered one of the locals up here at the lake. He could relate that his grandparents lived in the red cabin during WWII. One day his grandfather, who was a lumberman, wanted to bring his shotgun with him to the woods, but his wife (the storyteller’s grandma) wouldn’t let him. That day he encountered Germans in the forest. If he had carried a gun he would have been imprisoned most likely in the infamous Grini prison. The Germans were looking for some Russians who were hiding in the hills around the lake. The Russians had escaped by jumping off a train not far from here.
