World War Two / Found in a dead Tommie’s pocket
« on: Saturday 19 September 20 20:55 BST (UK)  »
This picture was found in the photo album of a German soldier stationed in Norway. It has, loosely translated, the text: «Found in a dead Tommie’s pocket». This British soldier(Tommies, as the Germans called them) most likely fell at Tretten in Gudbrandsdalen or possibly Gausdal in april 1940.

Has anyone in this forum any idea who the three soldiers might have been?

Any uniform-details etc would be much appreiciated!

Regards,

World War Two / 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,

Hi!

My great-great gran Eli Kristiansdatter married Brynt Anderson 11 Jul 1884 in Menekaune, Marinette, Wisconsin.

Is it possible to find out if I have found the same Brynte/Brynt/Bryant here in the 1880 Census?
