Finding MIA norwegian SS soldier of the Ski.Batl. Norge

[Regiment Norge]

Hi!

This video from the area near Kiestinki in Carelia is showing an joint russian and norwegian expedition trying to find the MIA soldiers of the SS-Jäg.Schi.Btl. "Norge" who fought against an major russian force between 25-27.6.44.

Didn't understand a word of it, but thanks!

I assume those were Norwegian veterans?

Have they identified the bodies?

Hi Tom!

This video is from a norwegian newspaper and are showing both veterans from the Ski.Btl. Norge and professor Stein Ugelvik Larsen from the university of Bergen who is chairman of the Kaprolat comite. They have found between 40-50 skelettons who are beiing DNA tested. The plan is to bring the dead back to Norway and proper burial. They are found laying in the field for over 60 years.

regards

Aye, I'm familiar with the battle.

Wish I could have been there. I do have some photos from someone who was involved. I even recognized the drawing of the position they were using. I'm glad those men are finally coming home.

How sad they have been lying out there where they fell for so long, I hope the ID and reburial process goes well.
At least those f*****g Russian "diggers" were not involved

its good for the families that they can have some closure on what happened to their relatives even if it is 60 years later
