Скачать или смотреть Did You Know? Swedish Volunteer with a Panzerschreck in WWII | Tannenberg Line 1944

Did you know that neutral Sweden still had volunteers fighting in World War II?
This rare image shows a Swedish volunteer armed with a Panzerschreck in 1944.
He fought along the deadly Tannenberg Line in Estonia.
The battle was part of Germany’s last major defensive efforts on the Eastern Front.
The Panzerschreck fired an 88mm rocket capable of destroying Soviet tanks.
However, its powerful backblast made it extremely dangerous to use.
The “Nordland” Division was made up mostly of Scandinavian volunteers.
They faced relentless attacks from the Red Army.
The line was held briefly but at a heavy cost.
History shows how brutal and desperate the final year of WWII truly was.
