Ian Fleming later made the character James Bond inspired by, and based on this second lieutenant actions before and in the battle of Narvik.
The story of this second lieutenant was collected from the surviving fishermen and citizens of Narvik and told in the book '1000 glemte menn' (1000 forgotten men (can't say for sure if it's the correct english title)) written by Ivar Enoksen.
Sadly, the Norwegian government have never acknowledged the effort
of these fishermen who willingly gave their lives to help British forces to land, so if Ivar Enoksen hadn't collected the stories, they would have remained unknown..
