    I with friends plan to publish a book in Russian about the toughest and hardest moments, the Western Allies of the USSR experienced during WW2. This bok will be based on veterans' accounts (British, Norwegian, French, Polish). Interviews would be good thing as well. Some stuff was found, but not in sufficient amounts...

    Vladimir, good luck (bonne chance no less!) with your endeavours.

    Very much hope you may find a copy of this where you are. It covers some of the time period you have expressed an interest in, from the military side.

    Kind regards,

    Jim.

    Jim,

    Heaps of thanks... I live in Ayustralia (Perth), and access to some books is limited. Moreover, I still work and often have no time to chase them.

    have you ever had it ON HAND?

    Just read the war diary about 451 Sub Area 45/46 today and by chance the commanding officer was Brigadier Arthur Lealie Kent-Lemon who in 1940 was acting commander 15 Brigade in Norway.

    He left behind private papers at IWM Private Papers of Brigadier A L Kent-Lemon CBE :D

    If you are looking for soldiers diaries from the Norwegian campaign, I recall a thread on here from a few years back about the missing grave of a Gunner Greenway RA. Info in it was taken from the posters fathers/grandfathers diary written during the campaign.
