Verified key facts, biographies and guidance for images, archive material and the film project.
Bjørn Egge (1918–2007) was a Norwegian officer, wartime participant, political prisoner and major general. He served as president of the Norwegian Red Cross and advocated humanitarian principles, human rights, historical testimony and peace.
Egge belonged to a generation that experienced occupation and later helped shape post-war institutions. His life connected military service, captivity, senior command and humanitarian responsibility.
A Warrior for Peace is the working title of an international feature project inspired by Bjørn Egge’s life. It is in development; no production credits or release date have been announced.
Kriger for fred is Bjørn Egge’s own account. The English edition of A Warrior for Peace is available in paperback on Amazon and as an eBook exclusively on Kindle. An English audiobook is also being launched. Explore the editions, hear the sample and find purchase links.

The bilingual fact sheet is available now. A complete press kit with approved high-resolution images has not yet been published.
