    What a coincidence, was your visit to do with a job or for pleasure?

    That is a good way to look at it and sort of brings what you’re reading to life.

    Here´s page 19 of the "Wehrstammbuch" documentig his war trail from Norway to Finland 1940-1941. Am I correct in assuming his unit in Norway from early May 1940 (in Sandevik Norway) to June 1941 was 12. and 11. SS-Totenkopf-Standarte 6?

    "Strafen". Seems he wasn´t punished for anything in 1941 and 1942 as the hand written text says "kein(e)".

    Horst was wounded in the throat during the intense fighting of Kokkosalmi in Kiestinki on August 3rd 1941.

    Yesterday I managed to get hold of this original photo of the graves of SS Nord men after the battle. Lucky guy that he didn´t end up here.
