I dont know much about the NSB or their members. What was told to me in history classes is that v Tonningen was the most influancial man in the NSB.

As far as I know the arty didnt even had a Gerat. Im not sure, but I suspect they didnt even had a range finder. Anti-t...

The Ardennes is packed with good museums to. Bastogne or La Gleize for example. Also the Dutch Overloon museum and the Airborne museum in Oosterbeek are pretty good to.
