Norwegian Pilots in Luftwaffe

[Kjetil Aakra]

Interesting topic.

That latter guy definitely seems to be a pilot, but I agree with Junker that the others in all likelihood were attached to a Flak unit or some other ground-based unit. Even so, the first article begins with "From somewhere on the Channel front, we eight Norwegian pilots, ...". This may be caused by the editor doing a direct translation of the rank "Flieger"?

It is almost fun to read these old newspapers as they so clearly belong to a different time. Both, especially the first article, are filled with propaganda and expressions we wouldn't use today (there's reference to the "English sickness", "jewish capitalism" and "the infernal bolshevism")! Interestingly, the first article refers to the parents not understanding what their youngs boys are up to!
