Jutta Regitse Pilegaard Graae (1906–1997) was a Danish bank employee who became a member of the Danish resistance during the German occupation of Denmark in World War II.[1] After first working as a contact for the resistance worker Ebbe Munck in Stockholm, she became so deeply involved in illegal activities that she had to move to Stockholm herself in September 1943. In 1944, she moved to London, where from January 1945 she joined the Special Operations Executive. After the war, she continued to work for Danish intelligence, becoming chief archivist for the Danish Defence Intelligence Service in 1956 until her retirement in 1960.[2][3]
In 1947, Graae was made a member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for her service in World War II.[3]
