King Haakon VII and Crown Prince Olav were photographed by Per Bratland seeking shelter under the birch tree during a German bombing raid during the last weekend of April 1940. The iconic image was spread across the world and inspired further resistance to the occupation. It also inspired the poet Nordahl Grieg, who was also in the area during the bombing, to write his poem Kongen.
