US Army 99th Infantry Battalion (Norwegians)

[John in Covina]

Here's the group my dad was in during WWII. Norwegians used for mountain troops, the other skiing GI's.

NDWWII is a great site by the way.

Hey John do you know of the museum at Camp Ripley, the caretaker their has a pet project of the 99th if you would like I can put you in touch with him, he is all ways looking for info on the unit. I know this because our reencatmen unit is "sponcerred" by the museum. Let me know and I can forward the info to you.

Not about the 99th, but anybody interested in Norwegian forces would like "We Die Alone" about a team of Norwegian commandoes from the "Norwegian Independent Company 1" (part of the British SOE). Incredible tale of survival.

Any WWII buff will love it!
