Norway 1940
As a young cadet, Egge faced the German invasion of Norway. The campaign began a wartime experience that shaped his public life.
03 · Resistance & Captivity
Nacht und Nebel
After resistance work, he was arrested and released in 1941. The Kvarstad breakout in 1942 led to his capture. He later became a Nacht und Nebel prisoner in Sonnenburg before being transferred to Sachsenhausen.

Preserving human dignity
Captivity was not only a struggle for physical survival, but for identity, responsibility and humanity under extreme conditions.
