Hi guys.
I just interwieved my grandfather`s neighbour.
He entlisted at 16yrs old in freiwillige legion Norwegen late in Mittau. Later he joined reg.Norge and from there to the Norwegian SS skijegerbatalionen.

He had just done some signal work and was heading south when the russians attacked the hills of Kaprolat and Hasselmann and he avoided getting annihilated there.

He was on motorcycle coarse on a camp on Ullevoll when peace broke out.

He and a pal got civilian clothes and changed at Lutvann when the first norwegian flags where flying.
He hid his uniform in a stone fence. (Years later he found it again and removed with him some insignia).See pics!

He and his friend took a train together with released prisoners from straffange lager Grini from Oslo to Kr-sand. They were afraid of beeing recognised!
They baled out in Kr-sand and headed further south to their hometown.
Norwegian resistance had been at his parents house where he lived searching for him.
Later he turned himself in.

He showed me where he and other where imprisened in some german barrackes. They are gone now but bunker beside is still there.

He could recall when 2 ss men broke free and it was hell on earth until they where captured.

Before he enlisted waffen SS he told me that he saw this british bomber beeing shot down by german FLAK. One engeene is still in out there. See pics.

Any comments are welcome!!!
Enjoy Wink

Nice work Jotuntroll. It's important that these guys get their stories not only heard, but recorded. It's also nice to make them feel good about some of the things that the rest of the world has told them they need to be ashamed of. I'm sure he felt good having a fan to talk to about his very interesting life.
