Albert Carlo Iversen (28 September 1895 – 29 June 1944) was a member of the Danish resistance executed by the German occupying power.
In addition to being a member of the Hvidsten group[2] Iversen was also a veterinarian.[3]
The group helped the British Special Operations Executive parachute weapons and supplies into Denmark for distribution to the resistance.
In March 1944, the Gestapo made an "incredible number of arrests" including in the region of Randers, where a number of members of the Hvidsten group were arrested.[4]
The following month De frie Danske reported that several arrestees from Hvidsten had been transferred from Randers to Vestre Fængsel.[5]
On 29 June 1944, Iversen and seven other members of the Hvidsten group were executed in Ryvangen.[1][2]
