Biography
Norwegian resistance fighter during WW II who was a member of Kompani Linge and Milorg where he operated transmitters enabling radio links between the central leadership of Milorg and the Norwegian High Command which was in exile in London.
In the the four volume work "Våre Falne [Our Fallen] 1939-1945," commissioned by the Norwegian government in 1945 to commemorate those who had perished during the war, Wagle's entry is in Volume 4, p. 499.
In June 1944 Wagle became head of a radio transmitter station that was established in Flaskebekk on Nesodden. On 4 July 1944 the station together with Wagle and two others (one of them his brother) was surrounded by German troops. The two others were killed after hard fighting, and when there was no more ammunition left, Wagle chose to blow himself up with a hand grenade.
After the war he was posthumously awarded the War Cross with Sword, the highest ranking Norwegian gallantry decoration.
