Norwegians were divided into two camps, those who supported the Nazis and the Nasjonal Samling and those who resisted.
Resistance came in many forms, from active groups within Norway to armed fighters from outside Norway to those who served in the Norwegian merchant marine during the war years to earn money for the government in exile to continue to fight.
The king of Norway during the war years was Haakon VII and a series of badges and pins were issued for private purchase (probably part of the war financing effort) with the motif, H7, for the people who resisted.
Here are my two latest H7 badges as well as my collection of them.
These last two arrived in the past week making this start of 2015 my best year ever.
