He gave order to open fire on the vanguard forces of Operation Weserübung, sinking the 16,000 ton heavy cruiser Blücher.

  • «Adgang kun efter ordre», lite skilt fra kontordøra til Birger Eriksen, kommandant ved Oscarsborg festning der han beordret ild mot inntrengende tyske styrker 9. april 1940 som førte til at krysseren Blücher sank
Dette dørskiltet sto på døren til oberst Birger Eriksen som var kommandant på Oskarsborg. Det var Eriksen som på eget ansvar åpnet ild og senket den tyske krysseren Blücher. Eriksen var fra Lofoten og du vil finne mer om ham i museet.
