I don't think she was a member of was Mossad. East German or Soviet intelligence services make far more sense. She left Germany as the Nazis came to power - her parents might have been German communists rather than Jews (to be fair they could have been both). Norway was important for NATO as a listening post against USSR, particularly the Soviet Navy (SOSUS barrier), and was therefore far more interesting to Soviet rather than Israeli spies. Although, given her frequent movements all over Europe she was more likely a courier and her assignment may not have been connected with spying of Norway. Sommerton Man also seems to have been a Soviet spy.
