Martin Linge

Åndalsnes (and other towns in Møre og Romsdal county) was at this time still unoccupied territory and the only port with railway connections to East Norway and the campaign there.

The King, the crown prince, the cabinet, Norway's gold and cash holdings, and finally Commander-in-chief of the Norwegian armed forces general Otto Ruge with staff, escaped through Åndalsnes.

[5] Among exiled Norwegians, Linge along with Nordahl Grieg and Olav Rytter were the first to propose ideas for resistance against the German occupation.

[7] Martin Linge and his life are portrayed in the 1 hour documentary Martin Linge - skuespiller og legende (Martin Linge: Actor and Legend), which aired on NRK1 Fakta på Lørdag on 8 May 2004, produced by XpoMedia and Forsvarets Mediesenter (armed forces media center), directed by Mary Ann Myrvang and Runar Skjong, based on a concept, research, and script by Mary Ann Myrvang.

Martin Linge is portrayed by the Norwegian actor Petter Næss in the 2008 movie Max Manus.
