Eiliv Odde Hauge: Member of the working committee of Norsk Folkereisning and the head of the Norwegian Government Film Unit

Hauge was born at Stranda in Møre og Romsdal, Norway. An early member of the National Socialist Workers' Party of Norway (NNSAP) and later Nasjonal Samling (NS), and admired National Socialism in Germany and fascism in Italy. 

Hans Fredrik Dahl writes that Egeberg and his milieu were a competitor to Quisling and that it was Walter Fyrst (Fürst) who encouraged Quisling. Egeberg and Hauge had been involved in Norsk Folkereisning (established 1931), which was organizationally independent of, but ideologically related to, Vidkun Quisling's fascist Nordic Folkereisning. Hauge was a member of the working committee of Norsk Folkereisning, a small short-lived association with anti-Semitic and racist ideas inspired by National Socialism in Germany.

World War II
During World War II, Hauge had turned to join the Norwegian resistance movement by the time of the German invasion of Norway. On 30 May 1940 he helped organise and took part in the expedition from Ålesund of the motorboat Nyo that reached Baltasound, Shetland.

As a lieutenant in the exiled Norwegian Army, he headed the Norwegian Government Film Unit during the war, and after the war the Supreme Headquarters' Psychological Warfare Division, which distributed wartime films.

Hauge wrote several books about the Norwegian war effort, most notably Flukten fra Dakar (J. W. Eides Forlag; 1951). He also wrote the script for the film developed from the book and which was directed by Titus Vibe-Müller (1912–1986). 

Hauge was director of the Valdres Folkemuseum from 1959 to 1964. He died in 1971 and was buried in Øystre Slidre in Oppland.
