Assault on Bruflat

Ole Robøle, Kaare Nyhagen, Rolf Tidemandsen and Per Odd Smelhus

It is widely known that the church records between 1850-1865 for Etnedal were lost during the Second World War. Most people, however, do not know the details surrounding the events that lead to the destruction of the records. The following information regarding the assault on Bruflat was obtained in June 2007 when Per Odd Smelhus interviewed his cousin Ole A. Robøle, who was an eyewitness to the events. Other sources of information were taken from the website http://hem.fyristorg.com/robertm/norge/
