tac,
That is exactly what I am saying - that he is a Norwegian who received training with the SOE in the UK and was sent into Norway to train and supply the local resistance. My father was such an agent during WW2, in charge of an SOE/Linge Company operation - they also brought with them two Lugers from the UK.
