Petter Moen (14 February 1901 – 8 September 1944) was a Norwegian resistance member later known for his diaries.
During the occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany he edited the underground newspaper London-Nytt.[1] He was arrested in February 1944 when the German occupiers discovered several undercover newspapers.[2] Moen spent time imprisoned at Møllergata 19, and he perished during transport to Germany with the ship SS Westfalen in September 1944.[3] He is particularly known for his diary written with a pin on toilet paper during imprisonment.[4] The manuscript was found after the war and published in 1949 as Petter Moens dagbok;[5] it has been translated into several languages.[3]
