Johan Nordahl Brun Grieg, known as Nordahl Grieg,[1] (1 November 1902 in Bergen – 2 December 1943 in Kleinmachnow near Berlin) was a Norwegian poet, novelist, dramatist, journalist and political activist.[2] He was a popular poet and a controversial public figure in his lifetime.[3] A long time member of the Norwegian Communist Party who served as chair of the political organization Friends of the Soviet Union (1935–1940), he was described by detractors as a stalinist,.[4] He was the brother of publisher Harald Grieg.


As a staunch anti-Nazi and a Norwegian patriot, committed himself from 1940 onwards to the struggle against the occupation following the German invasion of Norway. In the winter of 1939-40, Grieg served in the Norwegian Army in Finnmark on neutrality guard during the Russo-Finnish Winter War. In 1940, having served during the Norwegian Campaign against the Germans, he escaped to the United Kingdom in the same vessel carrying the Norwegian Royal family and the National Gold reserves
