Usling3.JPGGrave at Lillehammer638 viewsThe back of the pictures reads in old Südderlin writing: Herbert Usling(?), Lillehammer, Norway. The field post number shows him as a member of MG-Btln 13 who died at the battle around Lillehammer on 22.4.1940.
Anyone knowing the church and if the graves are still there or if not, the new location?2 comments

Fische.JPGfishery harbour575 viewsI think this picture belonged to a Hammerfest/Honingsvag/Repparfjord photo series. It must be taken when MG-Bataillon 13 already had the Edelweiss badges of the mountain troops but before my neighbour visited the technical inspector school in summer 1942 in germany.
Katzen.JPGButchering cats507 viewsI don't know where and when. But there are no Edelweiss badges so MG-Bataillon 13 was not already moved to the mountain troops. I don't know why they are butchering cats. At this time of the war their wasn't hunger. Accidently shoot them while on guard? Trying to hunt and shot cats instead hares? I saw a similiar picture taken in africa, but showing an antelope. From the africa picture i know that the person was drafted before finishing his apprentice as a butcher and he had to prove his knowledge in front of a comitee to do his journeyman's examination

FASTNACHT1-g.JPGCarneval 1941 at Repparfjord494 viewsIt is a bit strange that even carneval parades were not really welcome by the Nazi's in germany this unit did their own far far away from home.

Alstertor.jpgAlstertor, former Rose481 views1938-1939 norwegian Rose. Bought by germany April 1939 and used as a supply ship. Several troup transports from Trondheim to Narvil, even one to Hammerfest. Don't know when my neighbour from MG-Btln 13 did this. Around Gneisenau repair at Trondheim?
Gladiator.JPGGladiator at Andalnes467 viewsProbably a Gladiator which was demolished at Andalnes to prevent falling into german hands.
Zugfahrt.JPGAdvance following the railroad465 viewsBack reads: 'Zugfahrt' nach Andalnes
'Train travel' to Andalnes. A movie shows that the only street bridge in a valley was destroyed. So the cars had to drive on the railroad tracks.
BMW.JPGPortait of my neighbour464 viewsThink this photo was done when MG-Bataillon 13 was moved away from the french border to be re-organized for Weserübung at the city of Magdeburg. Normal plans were to do a quick advance from Korsör to Kopenhagen and stay there. Only the heavy losses with Blücher and other ships brought the MG-Bataillon to Norway as a quick and close (Denmark) replacement.1 comments
