Kai Christian Middelthon Holst (24 February 1913 – 27 June 1945) was a Norwegian seaman, fur farmer and resistance fighter during World War II. When the leadership of Milorg was torn up by the Gestapo in 1942, he acquired a leading role in the organisation and participated in re-establishing the central leadership (Sentralledelsen, SL) of Milorg together with Jens Christian Hauge.[1] Holst had to flee Norway in the autumn of 1943[2] and stayed in Sweden until the liberation of Norway in 1945.

Holst is remembered both for his work with the Norwegian resistance and for the circumstances surrounding his death in Stockholm in 1945.[3] Holst's demise was so much talked of at the time that the Milorg leadership issued a statement in the Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten in July 1945.[4] Swedish and Norwegian authorities officially concluded that Holst committed suicide,[5][6] but his family and many of his friends and colleagues were of the opinion that Holst was murdered.[6][7][8][9][10]


Motstandsmann. Foreldre: Grossist Christian Holst (f. 1872) og lærer Inga Rasmussen (f. 1880). Gift 19.12.1944 i Stockholm med kontordame Margarete Corneliussen (f. 6.9.1914).

Kai Holst var aktivt med i Milorg både før og etter at han måtte rømme til Sverige sommeren 1943. Etter frigjøringen vendte han tilbake til Norge og deltok bl.a. i razziaer i Wehrmacht-leirene i Lillehammer-området. Samme sommer døde han i Stockholm under mystiske omstendigheter.
