Awsome wreck diving in Narvik, Norway

[lermontov]

Never too late Did you learn that Narvik was the first major allied infantry victory in the Second World War?

The life and death of General Carl Gustav Fleischer who was the commanding officer of the Norwegian forces during the battles of Narvik is also pretty fascinating. The Norwegian government in exile was rather reluctant to allow attacks on occupied territory during the first part of the war, and Gen. Fleischer was a headstrong proponent for such raids and attacks. Fleischer totally lacked the diplomatic qualities of Prof. Leif Tronstad (the brain behind the Gunnerside operation against the heavy water production facilities in Vemork), fueled a lot of antagonism and was effectively demoted to a position as commander of the Norwegian forces in Canada and later to Military Attaché to Washington D.C. He took his life in December 1942 and never received our highest decoration for gallantry in war, the War Cross with sword, which was awarded to him only the day before his suicide.

i reckon this whole battle scenario would make a good movie

I'm jealous - looks like an intriguing wreck to dive and im very impressed with your editing and story assembly. i encourage to to do more filming

Yes the wrecks are indeed very intriguing with it's different stories. I guess I would be quite jealous of your nearby diving like the great barrier reef. Hopefully someday I will take my ass over there for some diving. Thank you for the cheering words.
