"Into the White (previously titled 'Comrade'; alternative title, "Cross of Honour")[1] is a World War II-themed film directed by Petter Næss,[2] released in March 2012. The film is written by Ole Meldgaard, Dave Mango and the director Petter Næss. The film stars David Kross, Stig Henrik Hoff, Florian Lukas, Rupert Grint and Lachlan Nieboer.
On 27 April 1940, Luftwaffe pilot Horst Schopis' bomber, a Heinkel He 111 (1H+CT) is shot down near Grotli by a Fleet Air Arm Blackburn Skua (L2940) fighter, which then crash-lands. The surviving German and British crew members begin to shoot at each other, but later must share the same cabin to survive the harsh, Norwegian winter. An unlikely, lifelong friendship blossoms between the pilots.
In 1974, the original L2940 was recovered from Breidalsvatnet lake near Grotli in Skjåk municipality.[3] The original Heinkel wreck remains in the mountains at Grotli around 1000 meters above sea level, left untouched in the snow.[4] The wreck of the English Blackburn Skua' is on display at the Fleet Air Arm Museum in Yeovilton.
