human network in Nasjonal Samling, fired in June 1941. At the same time he left the party. However, he was asked to return in October 1942, with Christie long gone. By that time the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation had experienced severe hardships, as most of the listeners abruptly disappeared: radios had become prohibited in the autumn 1941 for everybody save members of Nasjonal Samling. Bødtker remained in his position until Victory in Europe Day, when the Nazi regime fell; he was arrested shortly thereafter. As a part of the legal purge he was sentenced for Nazi collaboration. However, after a while it became clear that he had worked to help the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation through a difficult time, and tried to resist Nazi German attempts of monetary exploitation of the company. Also his brother Johannes was imprisoned during the last years of the war. Nonetheless Bødtker maintained a low profile for the rest of his life and died in February 1980 in Ådal.
