Gents,

Not Bomber Command related, but a very brave man nevertheless.

Gunnar Sonsteby, who has died aged 94, was Norway’s most decorated war hero, chief of operations for the underground resistance and sole surviving member of a team of saboteurs helmed by Max Manus, the daring leader of several numerous missions against targets in Nazi-occupied Norway.
