Шаблон:Short description Hagbarth Schjøtt Jr. (25 February 1920 – 2001) was a Norwegian resistance member during World War II and later businessperson.
He was a son of businessperson Hagbarth Schjøtt Sr.[1] Before the Second World War he took a tailor's education. When the war reached Norway on 9 April 1940, with the German invasion, Utne volunteered and fought for Norway in the battles of Southern Norway. After Norway capitulated, he was a co-founder of the resistance group "Theta".[2] The group was self-initiated in a circle of friends, but they lacked contacts, knowledge and materials to actually conduct intelligence work.[3] Other members of the group running "Theta" were Bjarne Thorsen, Kristian Ottosen,[3] Helmer Dahl,[4] Leif Utne and Jan Dahm.[2] A radio transmitter was set up in December 1941, with its headquarters at the famous seaside location Bryggen.[5] "Theta" is best known for notifying the Allies in January 1942 about the presence of the German battleship Tirpitz in Åsenfjorden in Trøndelag.[6]
"Theta" was unveiled in 1942, and the members had to flee Norway. Schjøtt hid in a ship that sailed to Oslo, and from there he fled via Sweden to the United Kingdom. From 1942 to the war's end in 1945 he served on a motor torpedo boat operating out of Shetland.[6]
After the war he ran a business in ready-made clothing. He was a board member of the Federation of Norwegian Industries. After he lost his wife, he involved himself in the Norwegian Cancer Society.[2] He died in 2001.[6]
