danyb

[ansata1976]

I am not sure but maybe this men were sentenced because they killed and tortured Yugoslawians in Norway in camps.

[G. Trifkovic]

I am not sure but maybe this men were sentenced because they killed and tortured Yugoslawians in Norway in camps.

"From June 1942 to April 1943 ca. 4500 Yugoslav citizens were shipped to 23 concentration camps in Norway. Over 3000 died due to reign of terror imposed by SS and Organisation Todt details who were running those camps."

Vojna Enciklopedija, Beograd, 1973, Part VI, p. 142.

Gaius
