Here is the first postcard:
The first of the two postcards has a photo of “Frognerkilens Terasse” In Oslo in the front.
If someone can translate what is written on the back I would be very grateful

It translates as:

"Dear parents!
Today, I am just sending you a postcard. I got your letter of 18 Dec. with the newspaper clippings and thank you for it. I have also received a christmas parcel from Luise Hinkel with one sausage, 1/4 pound of butter and candy. I was delighted about it. Hopefully Wernerchen [= diminutive form of the first name Werner] is healthy again.
The most heartfelt greetings and best wishes for the new year in the hope for a healthy reunion. Your Margret"

Here is the second postcard:
The second of the two postcards has a photo of “Trelleborg” in Denmark on the front.
If someone can translate what is written on the back I would be very grateful

This one translates as:

"Dear parents!
The trip on the ferry to Trelleborg in Sweden was very nice, but I guess you will be able to tell from my handwriting that it is very shaky as well and I already felt accordingly. There are more than 60 of us girls on the ferry as well as more than 900 soldiers.
A thousand greetings to you all
from your Margret."

New!!
Norwegian resistance ammo found in a barn

A friend of mine gave me some 9mm drop ammo that his grandfather had hidden away in his barn since the war. His grandfather was active in the resistance, and this ammo came down in cargo containers over Norway late in the war together with weapons and other SOE equipment. I feel very fortunate to be able to get stuff like this for free!

The ammo is marked BE and DI
