About Osvald Harjo
- Osvald Harjo (30 September 1910 – 20 April 1993) was a Norwegian resistance member during World War II, and a prisoner in Soviet Gulag camps for more than a decade. After being arrested and tortured by the Gestapo in 1942, he managed to escape from custody and fled into the Soviet Union.
- Here, he was accused of being a German spy, and convicted to 15 years forced labour.
- He was released in 1955, after pressure from the Norwegian Prime Minister during a visit in Moscow. Paul Engstad wrote Harjo's memoir book Moskva kjenner ingen tårer (English: Moscow knows no tears) in 1956.
