Rolf Aakervik

Rolf Aakervik (11 May 1915 – 15 January 1976) was a Norwegian editor and politician for the Labour Party.

He was born in Trondhjem, but moved with his family to Torshov at the age of 5. He joined the labour movement and founded a Torshov chapter of the Workers' Youth League in 1933. He worked delivery and office jobs in Arbeiderbladet, Tiden Norsk Forlag and Workers' Youth League. He chaired the Oslo and Akershus regional branch of the Workers' Youth League in 1940.

During the German occupation of Norway he was arrested twice. First, he was held at Åkebergveien prison. The second time, he was arrested for his involvement in the illegal newspaper Fri Fagbevegelse.

In 1945 he was hired as a journalist in 1ste Mai, and travelled extensively to re-established the local chapters of the Workers' Youth League, which had been banned during the German occupation. From 1946 to 1949 he chaired the Workers' Youth League nationwide.
