Forell was one of the main influences at the Norton Prisoner of War camp in Norton, Cuckney England. Its students included Jurgen Moltmann who later became an eminent theologian.[1]
There is a memorial dedicated to him in the Swedish Church in Berlin. In 1993, a postage stamp was released to commemorate his 100th birthday.
