[2] Earlier in 1944 a secret memorandum (Latin: pro memoria (PM)) from "Minister of Justice" Sverre Riisnæs,[3] proposing to send 75,000 young Norwegians to the German-Soviet war front,[4] had been revealed and published by the underground press.
[7] To paralyse the German production of explosives, an operation against two sulphur acid factories (Norsk Svovelsyrefabrikk and Lysaker kemiske Fabrik A/S) was performed in June 1944.
Other operations were directed against Raufoss Ammunisjonsfabrikk and Kongsberg Våpenfabrikk, oil storage facilities, and a large supply of stored ball bearings.
Other group members were Birger Rasmussen, Andreas Aubert, William Houlder, Per Mørland and Henrik Hop, and occasionally Max Manus.
