I have heard stated that when the Germans occupied Norway during WWII the new
government decreed that all radio transmitters and rucksacks were to be handed
over to the government.

All radio transmitters were colleted, but only two (2) rucksacks.
The transmitters were registered, while the rucksacks were not.

True, or not, but this illustrates the problem with government registers.
