NORWEGIAN UNDERGROUND
EFFICIENT ORGANISATION ' ; LONDON, May 17. Nothing happened anywhere in Norway in the last three years that London headquarters of the underground movement did not know about—often In a matter of hours. Typical 'results of the smuggled information, according to the British United Press correspondent at Oslo, were the sinking of Tirpitz by the R.A.F. in a Norwegian fiord, and the bombing of Gestapo headquartars at Oslo.
The packets of secret, military information were so carefully concealed that not a single courier was killed during the war while carrying information from Norway across the border for the Norwegian Government in London, ;s ' •-
Reports and photographs were concealed behind panels, and even under the toilets on trains going to Sweden. Norwegian agents at Stockholm removed the packets and forwarded them to Britain by air. The Allies sent in cameras with which members of the underground took important military pictures. A thousand radio sets were smuggled in, besides material for underground newspapers.
