Hello,
I think I read something about this in "Folklore Fights the
Nazi" by Kathy Stokker, It is a current book, probably available through Amazon.com.
I know they talked about various forms of resistance, like wearing a paperclip on
the lapel or a red nisse cap. I know that the H7 was painted on Nazi propeganda
posters throughout Norway during the war... to show that Haakon was the true king
and would return.

Hope this helps.
