Osmund Brønnum

After his father's death in 1908, his mother Hilda lost the small farm and moved with the children to Oslo, then named Kristiania, in order to find work.

In 1939 he supported the merger between the workers' and bourgeois sports organizations, in order to create a unity front against fascism.

He worked in the illegal press, and also joined the military organization Milorg, founding its East End branch of District 13.

[4] In April 1943 he had to flee the country for neutral Sweden, but this was discovered by a denouncer,[1] and Brønnum was held up at Skotterud, not far from the Swedish border.

[5] Brønnum is buried at Nordre gravlund, at the memorial to the 20 members of the Communist Central Committee who were killed by the Nazis during the occupation.
