-------Here is some more info about the Frontfighters in SS
A front fighter was a Norwegian who during World War II could be referring to German military service in the Waffen-SS. Refer None began in January 1941 and the first reported with participating in the Division Wiking during the attack on the Soviet Union that year. Norwegians fought in battles at Leningrad, in Finland, the Narva front in Poland during the withdrawal and ultimately took about 150 Norwegians during the recent fighting in Berlin in May 1945.
It was during the war around. 15 500 Norwegians who wanted to enlist him. Approximately 6000 of these met the requirements, and of these, something in excess of 5000 frontline soldiers. Between 700 and 900 fell during the war. 308 frontline soldiers are still formally considered missing.
Refer No one was at first portrayed as participation in aid to Finland in the country's struggle against the Soviet Union. Finland had poor conditions of a ceasefire agreement after the Winter War, and many had sympathy for the Finnish case. The fight against the Soviet Bolshevism was also an important factor for many of those who signed up. In the beginning they would be set up as a Norwegian army, the Norwegian Legion, under the Norwegian flag and kommmando. This promise was back at the Germans, and Norwegians were distributed in other divisions of the Waffen-SS and placed under German command. Many of the front fighters turned on because of this the Vidkun Quisling, who they believed had betrayed them.
North man who achieved the highest rank in the SS was Olaf T. Lindvig, which was SS Hauptsturmf�hrer. This corresponds to the rank of captain. The highly decorated front fighter was Frederick Jensen, who received the German Cross in gold.
