==Background== In May 1944 the Nazi regime announced the call up of all men born in 1921, 1922 and 1923 to "national labour duty". Earlier in 1944 a secret memorandum ( (PM)) from "Minister of Justice" Sverre Riisnæs, proposing to send 75,000 young Norwegians to the German-Soviet war front, had been revealed and published by the underground press. The resistance movement decided to oppose these plans by all available means.
