The organization operated from Spring 1942 until the end of the war in the spring of 1945 . Establishment . RMO was established by Kapteinløytnant Andreas Rygg , as an initiative from naval attaché Hans Henriksen at the Norwegian legation in Stockholm . Because of the German mass arrest of Norwegian military officers in 1943 , Rygg fled to Sweden , and the organization was subsequently led by Martin Siem and Sigurd Sverdrup . Network . RMO ' s primary goal was to establish contacts in the cities along the Norwegian coast . The contact persons were typically harbourmaster s , maritime pilots and other sea workers or harbour workers . Siem and Sverdrup had earlier cooperated with Gunnar Sønsteby , and this cooperation continued after RMO was formed . RMO used Sønsteby ' s courier network to bring messages to Stockholm , and Sønsteby ' s organization obtained reliable information on ships and traffic . In addition to Oslo , ROM had branches in cities such as Halden , Kristiansand , Stavanger , Haugesund , Bergen , Trondheim and Tromsø . When Rygg moved to Stockholm in 1943 , he was employed as second - in - command at the office " MI II " , the section for military intelligence at the Norwegian legation in Stockholm , and from then on it was possible to coordinate XU ' s and RMO ' s activities in the seaport towns .
