Henry Oliver Rinnan (14 May 1915 – 1 February 1947) was a notorious Gestapo agent in the area around Trondheim, Norway during World War II.
He led a group called Sonderabteilung Lola. This group, known as Rinnanbanden among Norwegians had 50 members. Among them were Karl Dolmen, Arild Hjulstad-Østby, Ivar and Kitty Grande.
Rinnan was born in Levanger on 14 May 1915, the oldest of eight children in an impoverished family. He was unusually short (1.61 meters – 5 ft 3 in) and was a loner during his childhood. He worked briefly for his uncle, but was fired for stealing.
During the Winter War, Rinnan tried to enlist to fight with the Finns against the Soviet Union, but was rejected due to his poor physique.[1] During the Norwegian Campaign in 1940, he was a truck driver for the Norwegian Army. According to Rinnan, he was recruited by Gestapo in June 1940.
From September 1943, the Rinnanbanden had its headquarters in Jonsvannsveien 46 in Trondheim, known as Bandeklosteret ("gang monastery"). He worked closely with the German Sicherheitspolizei in Trondheim, where his main contacts were Gerhard Flesch and Walter Gemmecke. During this decade the private residence of the Rinnan-family was in the captured house of Landstads Vei 1, located approx. 1km from the gang monastery.
The members of Sonderabteilung Lola infiltrated the resistance movement by engaging people in conversation in buses, trains, cafés, etc., encouraging them to talk about their attitudes toward the Nazi occupation. Having identified people who they thought were in the resistance, they would work to build their trust and penetrate their networks. Their efforts resulted in more than a thousand arrests, compromised several hundred resistance groups, and in some cases, lured people to perform missions for the Nazis. Rinnan operated with impunity and little interference from their Nazi taskmasters, often using murder and torture as sanctioned means.


Henry Rinnan testifying at his trial
In the course of two trials after the war, 41 members of the Rinnan gang were tried and sentenced. Twelve were sentenced to execution by firing squad by the court of Frostating on 20 September 1946. Ten of the death sentences were carried out. Eleven were sentenced to lifelong forced labour (later pardoned) while the rest were given long prison sentences. The Rinnan gang was responsible for the death of at least a hundred people in the Norwegian resistance and the British Special Operations Executive, while several hundred were tortured and more than a thousand resistance members were arrested.
Rinnan was sentenced for personally murdering 13 people, but the real number is probably higher.[citation needed] Four hours after midnight on 1 February 1947, Rinnan was taken from his cell in Kristiansten Fortress. A guard blindfolded him and led him outside, where he was tied to a pole. At 04:05, Rinnan was executed by firing squad.
Rinnanbanden was so notorious that 40 percent of the people executed in the trials in Norway after World War II were connected to Sonderabteilung Lola.

Did he have a hydrocephalus?

Otherwise his cranium looks like that of a Borreby/Cromagno-Alpinoid rather, facial features are between that and Atlanto-Nordid.

[Adalwolf]

I see the characteristics of both Atlantid and Borreby.

And I thought I had a fivehead..

But if he were a Jew who makes sure "Norway's future will be multicultural", you would not dare to say he is foreign or villain. He would instead be a "valuable", "progressive" element in "your" country

There is one thing I agree with you: I don't like short dark men, either, but tall blond ones belonging to Aryan race! Perhaps we do have something in common after all ...

As for his quality as a man, information comes only from one side (that of WW2 true winners). I'm interested about what the other side has to say, but it seems that "western democracies" are equal to Soviet Union in their repression of semitically incorrect speech. I'm sure you are as interested as I am in a fair and ballanced analysis of this "Nazi agent and informant" and that you would not consider him a villain just because Jews say so

Then you might wanna consider moving away from Romania...

[Pallantides]

That's not my opinion, I got it from a biography about him and 'Rinnanbanden'...

Dessuten var han liten av vekst og fysisk svak, var mørk og fremmedartet av utseende

There aren't many Jews in Norway, at least I have met very few Jews.

The effectivness and motivations for some of the people in Norwegian resistance movment can be discussed and they are not all heroes, but Rinnan was a snake who gained the trust of Norwegian freedom fighters who fought against the German occupation, whom he then betrayed to the Germans, had them tortured and sometimes killed, in my opinion anyone who betray their own people for a foreign power is indeed a villian.
