atack

            Front fighter, In Norway, the term is primarily used by Norwegians during the Second World War who engaged in German war service in the Waffen-SS from January 1941 and fought on the German side against the Soviet Union on the Eastern Front. 
The first to go out joined the 5th SS-Panzer Division "Wiking" and joined the attack on the Soviet Union in 1941. Later, several departments were placed on the eastern front, including at Leningrad, in Finland and during the withdrawal at Narva front. They joined the entire German retreat from Leningrad / Narva to Kurland (Western Latvia) through Poland and until the collapse of Berlin in May 1945.
At the final matches in Berlin it is assumed that approx. 150 Norwegian front fighters participated. A total of 15,500 Norwegians tried to enlist during the occupation. About 5,000 Norwegians passed through the eye of the needle as front fighters. One assumes that 836 was killed; Of these, 308 have the status of missing. 
Most killed and missing were in the then Soviet Union, some in Finland and Germany. Four were killed in actions in the fall of 1944, when German troops took massive measures to bring down the Warsaw uprising.
In addition, between 400 and 500 women served in the German Red Cross as so-called front sisters.
