An early fugitive over the Swedish border was General Carl Johan Erichsen, chief of the 1st Norwegian Division, victimized, he insisted, by false orders to his troops to surrender. Major Hoch Nielsen, commandant of the key fortress at Kongsvinger, was deposed by his men when he failed to order stout resistance.
