Shetland Bus Trygve Sørvaag The Shetland Bus touched countless lives during the Second World War. These people’s experiences still burn in their memories. Photojournalist Trygve Sørvaag has met with and portrayed individuals living on both sides of the North Sea, now sixty years after the war: The young boy who just had to go when ‘England fever’ blazed through his western Norway settlement; the schoolgirl who fled in all haste; the Shetlanders who met Norwegian refugees on the beach; the agent on assignment in Norway; the courageous woman who sheltered refugees; the young Norwegian fisherman who became so enamoured of Shetland that he settled down there for good; an many others.
 
In this unique blend of photography and history we encounter two coastal peoples – divided by war, yet joined by the sea. Shetland Bus is a comprehensive documentary of the people of Norway and Great Britain and the special connection they share. In its pages you are taken on a journey along the Norwegian coast from Rogaland to Møre and Romsdal, and from Shetland to London on the other side of the sea. The result is a moving description of two coastal communities and a new perspective on our wartime history.
