Russian POWs in Norway and their toys...
« on: Monday 12 June 17 19:07 BST (UK) »

During WW2 some 100,000 Russian POWs were taken to Norway by the Germans to do labour in Hitler's plans for the North.

The attached picture shows a toy my father traded against food with the POWs. It is probably meant to be a cigarette box made of aluminium.

Does anyone in this forum have any information about the russian POWs and the stuff they made?

I am espcially interested in the picture and pattern they produced,

Regards,
