Reading the NYT piece I'm surprised to learn he only became known in Norway in 2015, and the statue the same year. Here in the UK that Telemark raid crops up quite often in anniversaries of wartime events or special forces commemorations, and he's attended many of those[0]. Of course the movie is trotted out every few years too, though maybe not so much recently.
Thanks for posting.
