Summary[edit]

Description
English: Detail on the uniform for officers (leaders) in the Female/Women's Labour Service (Norwegian: Den kvinnelige arbeidstjenesten, K.A.T.) in German-occupied Norway during World War II, exhibited at the Lofoten War Memorial Museum:
  • Metal badge with the AT emblem and "Control Officer."
  • Round lapel pin with the symbol for the Norwegian Administrative Council's party-neutral labour service in 1940 (crossed pickaxe and shovel on a green background).
  • Brooch with the K.A.T. emblem (the letters AT and an ear of barley) placed at the neckline of the shirt (collar notch)
  • NS Labour Service (Norwegian:NS Arbeidstjeneste), abbreviated as AT, was a labour service in German-occupied Norway during the Second World War where young men were required to perform physical labour for the common good. In the summer of 1940, a voluntary labour service was established under the auspices of the Administrative Council in Norway. The service was later taken over by Nasjonal Samling (NS, the Norwegian Nazi party), and from 1941, it became mandatory for young men of military age. The Female Labour Service assisted in agriculture. From 1943, labour service for women also became mandatory.
The War Memorial Museum (Norwegian: Lofoten Krigsminnemuseum) in Svolvær, Norway presents the country's largest exhibition of military uniforms and small items from the German occupation of Norway 1940–1945, as well as from other events before and during the war.

Norsk bokmål: Detalj på uniform for befal (leder) i Den kvinnelige arbeidstjenesten (K.A.T.) under andre verdenskrig, utstilt i Lofoten Krigsminnemuseum:
  • Rundt jakkemerke i metall med AT-emblemet og «Kontroll Befal»
  • Lite, rundt jakkemerke (kragenål) med symbolet for Administrasjonsrådets partinøytrale arbeidstjeneste i 1940 (korslagt hakke og spade på grønn bakgrunn)
  • Brosje i metall med K.A.T.-merke (bokstavene AT og et kornaks av bygg) plassert i halsgropa øverst på skjorta (i halslinningen)
  • NS Arbeidstjeneste (Nasjonal Samlings Arbeidstjeneste), også kalt Norges Arbeidstjeneste, forkortet AT, eller bare Arbeidstjenesten, var en samfunnstjeneste under andre verdenskrig i Norge der unge menn skulle utføre kroppsarbeid i allmennhetens tjeneste. Sommeren 1940 ble det opprettet en frivillig arbeidsteneste i regi av Administrasjonsrådet. Tjenesten ble siden overtatt av NS, og fra 1941 gjort obligatorisk for unge menn i vernepliktig alder. Kvinnelig Arbeidstjeneste hjalp til i jordbruket. Fra 1943 ble også arbeidstjeneste for kvinner obligatorisk.
Krigsminnemuseet i Svolvær viser Norges største utstilling av militære uniformer og småting fra den tyske okkupasjonen av Norge 1940–1945 og fra andre hendelser før og under krigen.
