Gunnar Christian Brøvig (30 August 1907 – 8 September 1944) was a Norwegian ship-owner and resistance member.
He was born in Farsund as a son of Tharald Brøvig, Sr. and Cecilie Catharina, née Hoff.[1] He had the much younger brother Harald Nikolai Brøvig[2] and the sister Andrea Brøvig, who married Olav Selvaag.[3] He had married Ragnhild Mørch in Borge in 1940, and they lived in Farsund. The couple had one child;[1] the son Tharald Brøvig, Jr.[4]
Brøvig had the cand.jur. degree, and after serving some time as a deputy judge he worked in the shipping business. From 1938 he was the leader of his father's company Th. Brøvig.[1]
During the occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany he worked with illegal transport of refugees from the Nazi regime. He was a member of the resistance within Sivorg.[1] He was arrested on 18 March 1944, and was incarcerated in Arkivet until 13 May, then in Grini concentration camp to 6 September 1944. He was then shipped on board the prisoner transport ship SS Westfalen.[5][6] On 7 September 1944 the ship sank off Marstrand, probably hit by a naval mine. Seventy-eight people aboard survived, but most of the Norwegian prisoners-of-war were casualties,[7] including Brøvig.[1]
