Hi!
Year-long forum lurker from Norway here. I've been trying to register for a good while but I believe forum registration was closed for a period, but as you can see I'm finally here now.
Being from Norway I'm mainly interested in the Norwegian Legion, SS Division Wiking, Waffen-SS Regiment Nordland, Germanic SS Norway and so on, but lately I've been expanding into the Legion of French Volunteers, La Légion Tricolore, SS Charlemagne and also the Lettische SS-Freiwilligen-Division (later Brigade) and the Estonian SS Volunteer Division to a lesser degree. I also have a great interest in the Heer of Wehrmacht.
I'd like to send a huge thank you to the participants of this forum (too many to name) that have been of tremendous help through posts with quotes, book reviews, unit histories among other things. Also a huge respect to SS veterans that despite their age (my mother's parents are younger than you but wouldn't touch a computer with a stick) continues to contribute to this community and can do so without judgement or stigmatisation that too many (specially foreign volunteers) veterans have been subjected to for the past 70 years.
Finally, a suggestion. It would be really nice to have an own sub-forum dedicated for new members to introduce themselves like I have just done. I see that this has been mainly done in this 'Comments and Suggestions' sub-forum but a lot of it gets drowned in technical help questions, suggestions and other things.
Really looking forward to be an actual part of this outstanding community.
Thanks!
Nico
