Was he succeeded by Lorentz Brinch? Geschichte (talk) 00:22, 9 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
Yes, it seems that Brinch was his successor, after Langeland all of the sudden was called to London. There was apparently a short interim period when the leadership was not quite settled, when Brinch was acting leader of the district. Brinch was eventually established as the permanent leader of Milorg D13, from August 1944 until July 1945. Oceanh (talk) 00:29, 10 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
