About John Thronsen
Lived 1913 – 2003 (aged 89). John Thronsen was a Norwegian economist.
John Thronsen (12 September 1913 – 24 May 2003 ) was a Norwegian economist.
From 1933 he was a member of the party Nasjonal Samling (so were his brother Thorvald Thronsen, four other siblings, and both parents), and during the occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany a career path opened for him. In October 1940 he was appointed as national chief of finance in Nasjonal Samling.
Thronsen was fired in April 1943. The reason was that a corruption case was filed against him, even though he was not found guilty of it. Thronsen claimed that the corruption case was a revenge from Karl Marthinsen and Jørgen Nordvik, whom Thronsen earlier had called out for stealing.
