The Norwegian Legation in Stockholm played a significant role during the Second World War. Until 9 April 1940 the legation consisted of four persons, and at the end of the war about 1,100 persons were connected to the legation.[1] Refugee cases were among the legation's most central tasks.[2] In 1941 a military office was established, and this was later split into separate offices for intelligence (XU related cases), and for Milorg related cases.[1]
