On his return from the south he settled in Philadelphia, where he resided until his death.
One of Signor Blitz's best-known performances was a trick in which a loaded gun was pointed at him and he would catch the bullet in his hands. However, he stopped showing it because of the risky nature of the trick. He also combined ventriloquism during his long show making quips with his dummy (Bobby) as well as making sound effects.

# Sigrid Augusta Green

Sigrid Augusta Green (3 December 1920 – 12 October 2012) gathered intelligence in preparation for the sabotage of the Telemark plant during the Second World War. She worked for the Norwegian Resistance and then as a code breaker at Bletchley Park.

## Life and work

Sigrid Augusta Green, known as Gusta, was born in Darwen, Lancashire, to a Norwegian mother and a British father. Her mother had moved to the UK to work as an au pair and married.
Green joined the Women's Auxiliary Air Force at the age of 22, on 10 December 1942. Her bilingual ability from her Norwegian mother (Edith Stafford Green) was quickly recognised and she was transferred to the Norwegian Resistance. She was sent secretly to Nazi-occupied Norway to research the heavy water factory at Telemark owned by Sigrid’s uncle, which was being used to produce heavy water to further the Nazis’ nuclear ambitions. Green had visited the plant before the war started, and she remembered how to find it. Because she refused to parachute into the country, she was secretly landed in Norway by submarine. While on board, she dressed as a man because women were not allowed on submarines.
After completing her assignment, she escaped from Norway to neutral Sweden and then to the United Kingdom by hiding in the empty bomb compartment of a British-made Mosquito airplane. The 1943 mission by Norwegian commandos to destroy the Telemark plant was successful and became the subject of a popular film in 1965 titled The Heroes of Telemark.
When Green returned home to the United Kingdom, she was assigned to join the secret code breakers at Bletchley Park (Buckinghamshire), where German codes, that had been created by using Enigma machines, were decoded.
She kept her activities as a war-time code breaker secret from everyone, including her family, until the year before she died.
Green remained unmarried. She had been engaged to a fighter pilot but he was killed in action during the war.

## Accolades

* Received Bletchley Park Badge
* Awarded the Freedom of Bletchley Park honour

# Sigrid Helliesen Lund

Sigrid Helliesen Lund (23 February 1892 – 8 December 1987) was a Norwegian peace activist, noted for her humanitarian efforts throughout most of the 20th century, and in particular her resistance to the occupation of Norway during World War II. On 14 May 2006, Yad Vashem posthumously named her one of the Righteous Among the Nations for her work during the Holocaust.

## Biography

Sigrid grew up in a home hospitable to artists and intellectuals of her time, and she developed an independent spirit early in her life, refusing among other things to be confirmed in the Church of Norway. She earned her examen artium in 1911 and then took up studies in vocal music in Kristiania, Bayreuth, and Paris. She had her performance debut in 1918 in Oslo. However, she developed a respiratory ailment that made a singing career impossible.
She married Diderich Lund in 1923. They had two children; the younger, Erik, had Down syndrome. She started her humanitarian efforts in 1927 while she lived with her family in Odda. There she protested against what she perceived as unacceptable class differences. After she visited Germany in 1934, she joined the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom in 1935. She was also moved to start efforts on behalf of refugees. She became active with Nansenhjelpen and continued her efforts in occupied Norway during World War II. At the same time, she also started her efforts on behalf of children with special needs.
In the fall of 1939, she traveled to Prague to bring 37 Jewish children to Norway to save them from the Holocaust. She became active in the Jewish Children's Home in Oslo and played a central role in their rescue in 1942. Already a committed pacifist, she became involved with the Quakers during the war.
In February 1944, she had to flee Norway to Sweden, where she was made captain in charge of welfare services for Norwegians who had been repatriated from Nazi concentration camps. She continued this work after the war, extending her work to the merchant marine. She also held the first chair of Save the Children in Norway.
Sigrid Helliesen Lund formally joined the Quaker community in Oslo in 1947, and became a leading voice within the global Quaker community.
