HOw cool. I just got news about my grandma's brother who died in WWII in Norway. That is all I knew and guess what....he did not die in the way they told me. He died actually in a battle about the only year round ice free port in the Baltic Sea which was important for the supply lines to Stalingrad/Russia. So it happened in the corner where Norway/Finnland and Russia meet. His grave is actually on a Russian Soldier Cemetery. You can find out so much easily on the internet. I will dig more once I am back in Europe. So much fun.
