But I can't find any information from the Norwegian Railways (NSB, the same organization then as today) that such a attack was done on their Trains. Could the caption be wrong?
Tormod, just as a sidenote I thought I'd add that apparently the only attack made on Norwegian soil by a Norwegian Pilot after 1940 was when a 333 Sqn Mosquito bombed a bridge on the railroad Flåmbanen. Don't remember the details, though I have them somewhere. Maybe in the book Flyalarm?
