3. Komp I.R 236

Sabotaged bridge at "Geithus in Buskerud" Norway, with Germans on their way over.

The following days after 9. April 1940 (the day Norway was occupied by Germany) some factory workers
from a nearby factory cut down all the Vaires that held up the bridge in an effort to delay the German
troops' further march inland.

I have some pretty cool original photos of The Norwegian king of Norway when he was in the army.

All of these photos aren't from WW2 though, but I hope these photos are of interest.
