I fangeprotokollen for Vollan fengsel i Trondheim er det den 3. august 1942 ført inn en rekke arrestanter med arrestasjonsårsak ”Blumenträger” (blomsterbærer) eller ”Demonst. f. norw. König” (demonstrasjon for den norske kongen). Den 3. august 1942 fylte H.M. Kong Haakon VII 70 år. Fra London ble det norske folk oppfordret til å vise sin sympati for kongen ved å bære en blomst på klærne denne dagen. Folk i hele landet fulgte denne anmodningen, og i Meldungen aus Norwegen neste dag oppgis det at hele 538 personer var arrestert for å ha båret blomster. 53 av disse ble arrestert i Trondheim, og over 30 av dem ble overført til Falstad noen dager senere.
