The archives at the Falstad Center contain details of what later happened with those responsible from Botn camp and other camps in Norway. This information was collected and translated by the former Yugoslav prisoner Petar Krasulja from Belgrade, and the letter containing this information is dated June 13, 2000. The following were sentenced to death by firing squad: Franz Kiefer, the aforementioned August Riemer, Kurt Bretschneider, and Richard Hager, all of them SS members. [16] Trials in Norway [ edit ] Sentencing [ edit ] As I was saying, this book is pure fun straight through and it all starts with a dead body of Detective Inspector Bell. He's been murdered. The problem is that they buried him two years ago. So, who is it they buried, and what has "Ding Dong" Bell been doing these last two years? Logan shouldn't be working the case since he now works for Professional Standards, policing the police. But, he gets dragged in to do the investigation. And, the more he investigates the more problem he gets, especially dangerous kind of problem... Nilssen, Trond Risto. 2008. Jugoslaviske fanger i Norge under andre aerdenskrig.

As in many enterprises, there were silent partners–in this case the Soviet Union and the People’s Republic of China. Prados outlines materiel aid given to North Vietnam–all types of military equipment, weapons and ammunition, surface-to-air missiles and even Chinese anti-aircraft troops. The Chinese offered military intervention if the integrity of North Vietnam was threatened on the ground. The experience of the Korean War was still chillingly fresh in the minds of U.S. military planners and policy-makers, and these misgivings were reinforced by intelligence estimates that the Chinese had the means and the will to give a repeat performance if the DMZ were crossed. But university and I did not see eye to eye, so off I went to work offshore. Like many all-male environments, working offshore was the intellectual equivalent of Animal House, only without the clever bits. Swearing, smoking, eating, more swearing, pornography, swearing, drinking endless plastic cups of tea... and did I mention the swearing? But it was more money than I'd seen in my life! There's something about being handed a wadge of cash as you clamber off the minibus from the heliport, having spent the last two weeks offshore and the last two hours in an orange, rubber romper suit / body bag, then blowing most of it in the pubs and clubs of Aberdeen. And being young enough to get away without a hangover.

The Blood Road really is stand out crime fiction at its very very best. Head and shoulders above the rest. The film was produced over two years, starting with an initial scout trip to Laos in December, 2014 with principal photography happening over 28 days in February/March 2015. [3] The production team of six members, four of which were ex-professional athletes themselves, were limited to traversing on Honda CRF 250cc dual-sport motorcycles. [4] Two crew members were injured in motorcycle accidents from the jungle terrain, one suffering a shoulder injury and another, a ruptured achilles tendon. The core production team collectively rode over 24,000 miles on motorcycle over the course of production. [5] Yeager, Selene (2018-10-02). "This Cycling Documentary Just Won an Emmy". Bicycling .

Shutdown and repatriation [ edit ] Freed Russian prisoner of war from the Bjørnelva camp in Saltdal, 1945 The prison camp in Botn was shut down in spring 1945. Villagers appeared to see the camp opened up and shut down. In its last year, the camp was filled with Soviet prisoners of war. After the Second World War, some prisoners wrote books about their experiences at the Botn camp. In 1959, Ostoja Kovačević wrote En times frihet (One Hour of Freedom) with a foreword by Sigurd Evensmo. Later, in 1984, Cveja Jovanović wrote the book Bekstva u slobodu: iz nacističkih logora smrti u Norveškoj (Escape to Freedom: From Nazi Death Camps in Norway). In it he describes several camps in Norway during the Second World War, as well as escape attempts that were made.The story as ever is a dark and hugely emotive one, this time featuring missing children and the continuing saga of Bell. I like Logan in his "professional standards" form but soon he's hot on the trail of a killer, Steele "helping " in her usual indomitable fashion. The dialogue is fast, pacy, darkly humorous and extraordinarily engaging, you just get swept along with them all in a kind of hypnotic reading trance, often involving inappropriate giggling. Offering both a personal and historical exploration of the Ho Chi Minh Trail, this book highlights the critical role the Trail and the young women soldiers who helped build and defend it played in the Vietnam War. Accompanied by two traveling companions, Sherry Buchanan winds her way from Hanoi in the north to Ho Chi Minh City, formerly Saigon, in the south. Driving through the spectacular scenery of Vietnam and Laos, she encounters locations from the Truong Son mountains, the Phong Nha Caves, ancient citadels, and Confucian temples to the Khmer Temple of Wat Phu at the western-most point of the Trail in Laos.

And so to UNIVERSITY, far too young, naive and stupid to be away from the family home, sharing a subterranean flat in one of the seedier bits of Edinburgh with a mad Irishman, and four other bizarre individuals. The highlight of walking to the art school in the mornings (yes: we were students, but we still did mornings) was trying not to tread in the fresh bloodstains outside our front door, and dodging the undercover CID officers trying to buy drugs. Lovely place.
