Ww2 Thompsons In Norway


Recommended Posts

Gentlemen,

 

In one of my posts I promised I would share with you a few pictures of Thompsons in the hands of the Norwegian resistance - in between changing diapers (three weeks ago we became the parents of a female and future Thompson gunner) I finally found the time to make a little website. Please have a look:

Thompsons came as personal sidearms to SOE and OSS agents sent into Norway to help establish and train the resistance. My late father was in charge of such an SOE operation in this part of the country, but he carried a Colt M1911A1 and a Walther PPK in addition to a US carbine M1 - the two latter are in my possession.

 

Regards,

 

Balder

Photos come up nicely now. I'm not sure what happened, but mine that I posted earlier experienced the same backout.

 

Balder-- This is a fantastic photo. I love seeing a piece of history.
