"The war years 1939 - 1945, as the Rolvsvåggrenda experienced them" by Johannes Lid
Anna Uttskot, who was a maid (silent) at Anna and Nils Rolvsvåg, called me and gave her facts about German visit in the spring of 45. The Germans did not come from the Rolvsvågsida, but from Lønningdal, sad because it was easier to get reinforcements if they were to meet resistance.
Anna had rowed home to Uttskot one Sunday, and when she returned to Rolvsvåg Aksel Hope sat in the stove. Both Anna and Nils were awake. Aksel had received tips that there was rassia in Lønningdal and that the German carers were on their way to the mountains. He had a shop and was heavily involved in illegal work. There was no telephone in Rolvsvåg at that time. Aksel Hope then rowed across the fjord to Rolvsvåg to inform. Anna hurried to the Botnahytta, she was more talkative than Nils, who had asthma.
In Botnahytta many of them were celebrating a birthday that day. They had a good time in the cabin. Here it was cleared in a hurry and the oven was cooled down. Then they distributed themselves in the terrain. The cabin people saw no Germans, but the next day they saw traces of a bunch west of the Botnavatnet. There the patrol had turned. Had they gone up to the next pile, they'd seen the cabin.
