==Structure and Operations== Organization: Absalon was a small, elite network, reportedly limited to 360 core members to maintain secrecy. It was headquartered within the FE’s facilities, possibly at the Sandagergård data center on Amager Island. The network was divided into specialized units: LINDUS (intelligence), ROCK (sabotage and guerrilla warfare), ARGUS (observation and warning), and BLUE MIX (evacuation and rescue). Leadership: E.J. Harder, nicknamed “Bispen” (Bishop), was a key figure, serving as Absalon’s chief for many years. Harder, who worked at NATO headquarters in France and Belgium (1966–1970), maintained close ties with NATO’s secret warfare planning. His fascist political views made him a controversial figure in Denmark. Activities: Absalon’s tasks included training for unconventional warfare, stockpiling weapons, and establishing communication networks. It also monitored domestic activities, raising concerns about surveillance of Danish citizens. The network was allegedly involved in joint operations with Norwegian stay-behind groups, as discussed in 1952 meetings between Danish and Norwegian intelligence chiefs.
