Summary: An American tribute to the continuing war effort of the Norwegians in exile and under Nazi occupation.
Description: Film indicates a wide spectrum of activities mostly (inevitably) by reconstruction: escaping patriots picked up in North Sea; King Haakon and the Royal Family in exile; Norwegian navy and merchant marine making a major contribution in Battle of the Atlantic; resistance activities - clandestine newssheets and radio, sabotaging work for Germans (eg too much sand in concrete fortifications), guiding RAF to targets etc (film stresses basic importance of pinning down a large occupying force); commando raids on Norwegian coast (demolition, capture of prisoners, bringing off patriots); Norwegians learn flying at "Little Norway" in Toronto, Canada.
