head of the military camp Setermoen
, and was at the German invasion of Norway
ordered head of the Field Battalion II in Infantry Regiment No. 16. Hugo Munthe-Kaas had before the outbreak of the war joined as a volunteer for the guard company in Tromsø
, where he served at the German attack. He then joined the war commissary in Tromsø and was accepted to serve in the Infantry Regiment No. 16, despite the fact that he was two years too young for conscription. Munthe-Kaas served during the campaign in Northern Norway as orderly in the courier service and as sniper
, among other places during the Battles of Narvik
. The service lasted until the Norwegian capitulation in June 1940.
After the Norwegian capitulation, Munthe-Kaas was demobilized, and he continued high school
in Tromsø in early 1941. In April 1941 he was recruited to the resistance efforts of the journalist Sverre Larsen from the newspaper Tromsø. In mid 1941 he went on to Trondheim
to atart at the studentfaglinjen at Trondheim Handelsgynmas. In Trondheim he was again involved with the Norwegian resistance and among other things did intelligence work against the German submarine
harbor in the city, which allowed British planes to bomb the major transformer station at the submarine port in early 1942. In April of the same year he came over to Britain
with the ship "Sigalos" by Leif Andreas Larsen.
In the United Kingdom
Munthe-Kaas joined the Norwegian forces. Munthe-Kaas was soon recruited by the British Secret Service Secret Intelligence Service
for special assignments in Norway. He underwent training as radio operator and commando soldier. Based in the United Kingdom, through the war years he did several operations to occupied Norway, both by air and submarine.
For the British the need for intelligence information from Norway increased after the larger German ships was transferred to Norwegian waters. The British considered the threat to the convoy
route to and from the Soviet Union
as growing, and was particularly concerned about the danger that the battleship "Tirpitz
" formed after the ship was moved north. It was because of this important for the British to establish a network of stations from northern Nordland
to Troms
, so that intelligence information about German ship movements could be sent to the United Kingdom. Munthe-Kaas was in July 1942 assigned with such a mission, to contribute to the creation of a network of agents with radio stations. During the night of 15 juli 1942 he came to land at Langøya
in Vesterålen
by a Norwegian PBY Catalina

, went to neutral Sweden
and then traveled back to Britain. He was later followed by his father, who eventually became the Norwegian military attache in Washington, DC.

The goal of the operation was to deliver a new 60 tons of supplies, and bring out two French and two Norwegian soldiers who had been left in Mefjorden during the previous raid. These four had managed to remain hidden with the help of residents in Mefjordvær. The rescue of the four was considered a significant achievement and resulted in Munthe-Kaas being awarded a distinction, both from Norway, France and the United Kingdom.
Because the repeated missions in occupied Norway posed a risk both for himself and for the intelligence service, Munthe-Kaas was in 1943 transferred to another service. After the Military Academy, he continued with the British military training and was transferred to a Westminster Dragoons

Together with other Norwegian soldiers, Munthe-Kaas was released in flight over Eastern Norway on 26 November 1944.

and was from 1955 to 1960 assistant border commissioner. He also on several occasions served abroad, and was in 1962 ordered to service in the Supreme Allied Commander Europe in Paris
