Ørnulf Egge            Origin/Culture/Country: Norwegian

Ørnulf Egge: was a Norwegian politician for the Workers' Youth League and Communist Party and resistance member during World War II. He became a central board member in the Workers' Youth League in 1934, and belonged to the left wing. This became clear especially after 1937, although Egge managed to win support for the Workers' Youth League to still work for disarmament. In 1941 Egge and others from the Workers' Youth League came into contact with the Communist Party, which had gone underground. In May 1942 Egge became the leader of the youth work in the Communist Party. In May 1943 he was sent to their secret headquarters encampment in Valdres, to work as organizational secretary. He was also a member of the central committee. On 13 June 1944 the headquarters were attacked by 800 Nazi personnel. What was called Operation Almenrausch was a blow to the Communist Party's organization, but Egge survived and fled. He operated out of Oslo until the end of World War II. On 15 June 1940, Egge gave his support to Johan Nygaardsvold to continue as Prime Minister of Norway. He also negotiated to cooperate more closely with the Labour Party; this goal was not achieved. Egge was the political secretary of the Communist Party from 1945 to 1946.
