Kåre Olafsen

Kåre Adolf Olafsen (19 January 1920 – 17 March 1945) was a Norwegian resistance member who was executed during the occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany.

He became involved in Milorg in 1941, during the occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany, and was responsible for transport and provisioning in the district.

The foodstuffs were distributed to Milorg men who hid in the forests surrounding Oslo.

[2] He was arrested by the Nazi authorities on 13 February 1945,[1] during a crackdown which began when two Gestapo officers intercepted a resistance meeting in Storm Weinholdt's home.

[3] Together with eight other resistance members—Adolf Bogstad, Erik Bruun, Henry Gundersen, Arvid Hansen, Ingolf Nordstrøm, Frank Olsen, Kjell Ramberg and Storm Weinholdt—he is commemorated with a memorial stone at Sarabråten in Østmarka.
