About this product

Product Information

Merriam Press Siegrunen Mograph 5. Third Edition (2013).Frontfighters is based on the book Legionsminner-Trekk Av Den Norske Legions Historie which was originally assembled by the Norwegian SS War Correspondent E. Jul Christiansen Furum in 1943. The original publisher was Viking Vorlag, Oslo, 1943. The first English language translation of this work was published by Roger Hunt in 1986.Regarding the original publication, this has been maintained roughly the same throughout, although some of the picture captions have been changed or descriptive material added to give a clearer view of things. It should also be borne in mind that the text appearing in the middle of the book is a translation of the actual combat reports and citations relating to the unit at the time, and t postwar additions. Preceding the original work, Mr. Landwehr's detailed introduction reveals much previously unkwn about the Legion and its successor, the SS Skijager Battalion Norge. All the illustrations in this section unless credited otherwise are from his extensive collection of Waffen-SS photos.Thus a product of wartime propaganda whose original purpose is nearly forgotten, becomes, some decades later, a remarkable sample of military photo journalism when allowed to stand on its own merits.This entirely new and improved edition has been completely reformatted. The photographs have been enhanced using current computer methods and in most cases quality is better than that in the 1986 edition, and even the original wartime edition.Contents: Publisher's NoteDedicationOriginal PrefaceForeword by Vidkun QuislingThe SS Volunteer Legion Norwegen, 1941-1943 by Richard LandwehrThe SS-Skijager Battalion Norge, 1943-1945 by Richard LandwehrThe following material is from the original Norwegian wartime book and comprises the bulk of this new edition: Combat and Ideals: A Glimpse of the Saga of the Norwegian LegionNorwegian SpiritLegionnairesOrdersThe Norwegian Legion in the Field, December 27, 1942: Orders of the New YearOrders of the Day, 19 February 1943Battle-Group Special Orders, 2 March 1943Brigade Special Orders Number 4/43, 2 March 1943PhotographsIn Memoriam: The Legion's Dead210 photos11 illustrations1 map
