Erling E. Windingland Eliassen: Leader of the Hirden Air Force Corps (1943-1944)


Eliassen was born in Horten and graduated as a naval captain from the Naval Academy in 1921. He was a member of NS from 1933 and rejoined the party on 20 August 1940. Eliassen was a professional officer from 1921-1940, partly in the navy and partly in the air force, navy captain from 1936 and commander of the navy's air station in Kristiansand from 1939. From 10 July 1943 he took over the leadership of Hirden's Air Corps. He eventually wanted out of the position because the air corps was refused by the Germans to do anything other than gliding. Eliassen was replaced as leader of Hirden's Air Corps by commander of the Førerguard Per Bernhard Carlson on 1 April 1944.

Eliassen was sentenced to forced labor for 2 years and 6 months by judgment in Oslo City Court on 24 March 1947. He died in 1977.
