Gunnar Eilifsen (1897 – 1943) was a Norwegian police officer. He was executed in 1943 for disobedience, when he refused to arrest five girls who did not show up for forced labour. A retrospective law was passed in a hurry before his execution, and the law has later been referred to as Lex Eilifsen.^[1]^[2]
