Lugers in Allied service

Balder/Baldur - it is more than likely that he is Norwegian than a foreigner. As you know, I'm sure, there were many such people with local knowledge who managed to escape the nazi invasion of their country, and returning later with SOE training, proved to be a real thorn in the sides of the nazi occupation forces.

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.
