Two more documents. One on his injury in 1944 when lying in the Aalesund hospital.
A beautifully set-up photo album documenting his time on 1102. A gorgeous painted on the inner cover with the emblem of his unit. Roughly 157 photos in total. Fantastic hand painted front cover. Swastika removed but still visible.
Not only a fantastic grouping but also a great document on the Norway Campaign.
