notes:
In this field, hill and forest was 30 war prisoners from the Red Army and 13 Yugoslav prisoners killed by the fascists. They were working with German military installations on the top of the hill. The name of this hill in Norwegian is Santanshaugen. The name is after that they in the past use to celebrate mid summer on this hill with a big fire, play and dance. This was a place for happiness how the fascist destroy. To day we can still se the evidence after the war on this hill and the memory of these murder war heroes. When you visiting this place you feel it is a war grave and you mind is going to them how lost there lives. Thanks to the Red Army how beet the fascist in Stalingrad in 1943 how leads to the finale victory in 1945 of the fascist we all are free human today also we in Norway. The prise for Soviet was losing of more then 40 million human. This is teen time more human it is in Norway. I have not fantasy to imagination how big affect this have on Soviet after the war. I have only to try to understand and give all my respect to all former Soviet citizens. I understand it was the Soviet how starts the fall of the fascist tyranny. The victory day 9 May we will celebrate in Russian tradition and pay deep respect to all how died in this war. Today I like German and Germany very much and I can not understand that this fascist’s tyranny could grow and try to destroy all the world in this land and with this cultivated people. We have to learn this can happen again, but I am quite shore this will never happen in Germany again. The war destroys this beautiful land and Germans have to pay the dept of this war for generations to them self and rest of the world. Friendship it the best to avoid wars and forum like PhotoForum brings people from many country together. To see and feel other people is like you self is the best way to stop all wars.

We must all learn from the horrors of war and should be humbled by the sacrifices made by so many that we may all be free today. Thank you Bjorn for the explanation

Hi Bjorn,

i appriciate this historical excurse to Norwegian history as you donґt show a picture only but tell a untold story. Iґve something in my gallery you might be interested in (http://83.222.15.36/photos/p200502/171360.jpg) as our both countries suffered a lot from the Nazi regime (and still do in a certain way and will always till the end of times). Fortunately the allies took every afford to free Europe - thanks to them we now live in free countries. But we should - just as a matter of fairness - not only respect the liberators and what they did but also the brave man from several countries fighting in the Wehrmacht which did only what soldiers are trained for and died for the wrong matter!!! They also left families, friends, kids, wifes behind them (iґm explicitly excluding those who are responsible for atrocities !!!).

Fortunately its a peaceful place again and though itґs a bit photoshoped (which i normally donґt like) itґs very nice to look at - congrats !

Cheers
Virgil

We have much Norwegian how was fighting in the Wehrmecht also friends of my father. After they have been in the war in Russia and participated or seen what they were doing of crime behaviour to the Russian people they want to desert from the Wehermacht or Waffen SS. But they could not; all the organisation around this fascist regime has lock them to this situation. In 1939, 1940, 1941 and 1942 this people was very proud be fascist, but after 1943 most of them know that the Germany was going to lose the war.
My father tells me he became a friend with a young 18 years old German boy how was a guard in his work. One day he was sitting and crying. Why do you cry say my father to him? The boy looks on him and says they are sending me to Stalingrad in Russia. He and all soldier in Wehrmacht know in 1942 that to be send to Russia was equal to be killed. They know very well what was happen in Russia. This was not a war of honour, also this German boy know this and he know he now was going to be killed. This is the war, none honour to none, it is only terror to all human how is a part in a conflict. I have been in Ukraine and talk with people how have fell and seen the terror of the fascist.
The allies stop the Red Army from taking all the Europe, but in fact it was the Red Army how was beating the fascist regime in Berlin. If not the allied have open the west front the Red Army will have taken all the Europe. This is the fact, and Stalin knows this very well in Jalta conference with Churchill and Roosevelt. They also know this and that they have to open the west front in France soon as possible after the Red Army victory at Stalingrad.
9 of May we celebrate the Soviet victory of the fascist. The 8 of May we celebrate that the allied stop the Red Army from doing all the Europe to the citizen of Soviet. We have to tank the allied for this but I think now one in the west Europe like that in fact was the Red Army and Stalin how cruse the fascist and wound the Great Patriotic war (our WorldWarII).
The only place in Europe the Red Army draw back the troops after they have liberated land were in Finnmark in North Norway. They gave the land back to the Norwegian.
