Tor Skjønsberg

Tor Skjønsberg

Tor Vangen Skjønsberg (April 27, 1903 - 1993) was a Norwegian resistance leader, by education he was a lawyer.

In 1941 Tor Skjønsberg called for a meeting "Grimelundsmøtet" which is considered the start of organized resistance in Norway.

Skjønsberg was the "de facto" leader of the resistance movement in Norway until he had to flee the country in November 1944. After Skjønsberg fled, Jens Christian Hauge became the leader of the resistance movement, although at this point it was evident that total surrender of the Nazi-German regime was only months away.

After the liberation, Skjønsberg served as Minister of Shipping from June 22 to November 1, 1945, in the temporary government of Einar Gerhardsen.
