Description
English: Photo taken at the Lofoten War Memorial Museum (Norwegian: Lofoten Krigsminnemuseum) in Svolvær, Norway's largest exhibition of uniforms and smaller items related to the Second World War and the German occupation of Norway 1940 – 1945:
  • Pictorial enamel advertising sign for Juno, a German brand of cigarettes from the Cigarettenfabrik Josetti. During World War II, the Juno cigarettes was abruptly withdrawn from the market in late 1943, as the manufacturing plant in Berlin had been destroyed by air strikes.
  • Handpainted yellow minefield warning sign with the SS bolts (runic insignia), skull-and-crossbones symbol and the legend Achtung Minen
  • Mannequin in field and service uniform of the Wehrmacht Heer, the army of Germany prior to and during World War II. Injured German soldiers came from the Stalingrad front etc. to a more quiet service in Lofoten, Norway in the fall of 1942.
    • Steel helmet (Stahlhelm) with Wehrmachtsadler helmet decal, the army's version of the national eagle-and-swastika (Reichsadler, Hoheitszeichen, Hoheitsadler) of Nazi Germany
    • Field tunic/blouse (Feldbluse) and trousers
    • The Nazi Party eagle-and-swastika (Hakenkreuzadler) emblem (Parteiadler, "party eagle"), later Germany's only National Emblem (Hoheitszeichen, Hoheitsadler), was to be worn as a Wehrmachtsadler ("armed forces eagle") on uniform blouses and headgear from 1934. On tunics this took the form of a Brustadler ("breast eagle") cloth patch about 9 cm wide worn on the right breast, above the pocket.
    • Calf-high pull-on jackboots (Marschstiefel, "marching boots")
    • Belt with box type belt buckle with a version of the Hoheitszeichen (national insignia) called the "Army eagle" or Heeresadler (an eagle with downswept wings clutching an unwreathed swastika) surmounted by the motto Gott mit uns ("God with us")
    • Karabiner 98k, a German bolt-action rifle chambered for the 7.92×57mm Mauser cartridge, and K98 ammunition pouches (Patronentaschen) in belt
  • Wehrmachtadler, "armed forces eagle" (military style eagle-and-swastika) on wall sign
  • MG 42 (Maschinengewehr 1942), a 7.92×57mm Mauser general-purpose machine gun designed in Nazi Germany
