Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Photo taken at the Lofoten War Memorial Museum (Norwegian: Lofoten Krigsminnemuseum) in Svolvær, Norway, showcasing the country's largest exhibition of uniforms and smaller items related to the Second World War and the German occupation of Norway from 1940 to 1945:
  • M1926 Swedish military steel helmet (likely) used by the "Police troops," the Norwegian soldiers recruited from refugees and trained in Sweden during the war. These troops served in Norway during the liberation from the German Nazi occupants in May 1945, and were responsible for maintaining order and arresting collaborators following the German capitulation. The helmet features a painted stencilled monogram of King Haakon VII and a Flag decal, representing Norwegian national symbols, as well as the letter "D".
Norsk bokmål: Foto tatt i Lofoten Krigsminnemuseum i Svolvær, Norges største utstilling av uniformer og mindre gjenstander med tilknytning til andre verdenskrig og den tyske okkupasjonen av Norge 1940–1945:
  • En svensk militær stålhjelm av modell M1926 brukt av Reservepolitiet («polititroppene»), norske soldater rekruttert blant flyktninger i Sverige og trent der under krigen. Disse troppene tjenestegjorde i Norge under frigjøringen fra den tyske nazi-okkupasjonen i mai 1945, og hadde ansvaret for å opprettholde orden og arrestere kollaboratører etter den tyske kapitulasjonen. Som norske nasjonalsymboler har hjelmen foran kong Haakons bekronede monogram «H VII» påført ved hjelp av maling og stensil og på siden et norsk flagg, samt bokstaven «D».
