Anne-Sofie Østvedt (1920-), one of the leaders of the Norwegian intelligence organisation XU. She started her resistance work with publishing underground newspapers, and in December 1941 she was recruited to XU. In the Autumn of 1942 she got hunted by the Gestapo and had to live undercover for the rest of the war. Despite her young age she was vital to the organisation, but as her identity was kept a strict secret: almost none within the XU knew her. One of her cover names was "Aslak", a male name in Norway - and due to this it was a huge surprise for many to meet her after the war was over.
