Rolf Wickstrøm

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rolf Wickstrøm (9 December 1912, Oslo – 10 September 1941) was a Norwegian labour activist and a victim of the German occupying force during World War II. He was from January 1940 labour representative at the Skabo iron works in Oslo. Wickstrøm was executed on September 10, 1941, during the state of martial law which followed the so-called "milk strike", together with the labour lawer Viggo Hansteen. These two were the first labour representatives to be executed during the German occupation, and as such gained a great symbolic value for the continued resistance. Wickstrøm left behind his wife Signe (1913-1996) and son Tore (b. 1938).
