[Jan Arne S]

Little is known about Norwegian that served in KM .

But I found this about a Norwegian killed in action in KM .

Sorry that text is in Norwegian .

He had served 3 year in KM , and had just finish his Offiser training .

That's quite interesting! It says he was the "first" volunteer for officer training in the Kregsmarine-- which implies that there were OTHERS.

And if the NAVY...

???? Luftwaffe (wups-- further down today's posts-- you are on a roll =

SS, of course.

This is quite an amazing discovery!

Very interesting find. I have heard of Norwegians serving in the KM but this is the first time i've seen an individual named along much of his service career.

What's the date of the newspaper, seems to be 1944 sometime? The article says he died protecting the Norwegian coast against the bolsheviks so from that i gather he was up in Finnmark. If you know his date of death we should be able to figure out what ship he served on.

Hi Simon !

Article was in Fritt Folk 02.06.1944 .

But sometimes it took a couple of mounths between from date of death to the article was printed .

Have seen this a lot of this about Norwegian KIA in Waffen-SS .
