He was quickly named "Flammen" (meaning "The Flame"), for his red hair. In 1951, he and his Resistance partner Jørgen Haagen Schmith (Citron, or ''Citronen'' in Danish), were posthumously awarded the United States Medal of Freedom by President Harry Truman.

Gunnar Dyrberg, leader of the Holger Danske from 1943 through 1945, said in the 2003 Danish documentary film, '' With a Right to Kill'' (''Med ret til at dræbe''), that no one knows exactly how many executions The Flame performed, but he was rumoured to have killed 22 persons. The film explored the issues of the estimated 400 executions performed by the Resistance agents. Early life Bent Faurschou Hviid was born in 1921 in , Denmark, on the island ...
