I just posted some photos taken in Russia last year when the "Spiess" of our unit made a trip to battlesites of 6.SS "Nord":

As far as I know it is quite difficult to bring lots of stuff back from Russia, as border formalities can be quite indiscriminate if you have bad luck.

Something small was brought home and I will post pictures of that stuff as well. Nothing was taken from the dead still found from the battlefield.

If we go to Kiestinki we must get there before the bug-season starts..

Great pictures!
Was Nord also involved in the Salla/Allakurtti operation at about the same time?

[Franz repper]

Salla was were Nord got a beating I will post it up when I have Finnished it
