The Norwegian Stay Behind networks were created after 1945 for intelligence gathering, political surveillance,sabotage and assassination preparations, and evacuation of key personnel. The knowledge of these groups' activities are to a large degree still unknown.

The Meyer Raid

In November 1978, police received tips of a clandestine liquor factory on ship owner Hans Otto Meyer's property on the inaccessible and craggy Gjeterøya island outside Oslo. After raiding the property, the police decided to investigate Hans Otto Meyer's private mansion in Oslo. In connection with the police raid, they found a secret entrance to a bunker full of weapons, equipment and ammunition enough to equip more than a hundred men, and an advanced radio device that raised its antenna through the stovepipe at transmission. The bunker was secured with an automatic machine gun trap.

Full article: Hans Otto Meyer

The affair hints at some unknown internal dispute between Stay Behind operatives.
