Our Man on the Coast
Norwegian title: Vår mann på kysten
This is the exciting account of the pioneering telegraphists during the war. Eivind Viken was recruited in London after an exhausting journey from Sweden that involved, among other things, taking a train through Russia and Ukraine, and a ship around the Cape of Good Hope.
He then became a Secret Service agent who operated five radio stations on the Norwegian coast in the period from the autumn 1941 until the end of the war.
