Despite what the\r\nname indicated, this was not an all-volunteer or fully Nordic unit. The\r\nranks were filled with men from across Europe, many of them conscripts.\r\nA cadre of Norwegians in the Regiment 23 “Norge” and Danes in the\r\nRegiment 24 “Danmark” formed the backbone of the new division.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nNordland was deployed in antipartisan operations in Croatia in the fall\r\nof 1943. In 1944 the division saw hard fighting and heavy casualties\r\nagainst the Red Army at Leningrad, Narva, Tannenberg, and Kurland. In\r\n1945, Nordland, a division comprising mostly non-Germans, was among the\r\nfinal formations to continue the fight in Berlin. \u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThis new illustrated history of the division includes more than 500\r\nphotos from the most-extensive private collections in Europe, along with\r\nextensive maps and tables. Appendixes provide a clear explanation of\r\nthe division's order of battle, a full lists of award recipients, and a\r\nglossary of ranks and insignia.[AuthorName]By Massimiliano Afiero[\/AuthorName][AuthorBio]Massimiliano Afiero is a historical researcher on the Axis forces of the Second World War.
