Statue of Franklin D. Roosevelt

The reasons why there is a statue of FDR near the Oslo Harbor is simple: President Roosevelt helped Queen Marthe and her three children - today one is the king of Norway - escape Norway when the Germans invaded Norway. Also, they came and lived at the White House shortly afterwards with the crown princess and the president becaming friends. After WWII, both the princess and former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt dedicated the statue as a thank you for this American president’s help and kindness toward the Norway and the Norwegian royal family. - FDR Historian and writer for Norwegian American newspaper, Seattle.
