Description: Dug out in Northern Norway Dug out on Gebirgsjäger positions, found without soldier. Great item, will look great in any WW2 collection. As far as I understand this toothpaste is made in Sweden for Norwegian market, but ended up in hands of German Gebirgsjäger. Good example of Swedish industrial capacities working in favor of Germany, despite being neutral. Found in a place where Germans were destroying and getting rid of equipment, here German troops were spending last night before surrender. Left as found. Scroll down to see better photos. The Soviets pursued the Germans over the following days, and fighting occurred around the small settlements of Munkelv and Neiden to the west of Kirkenes around 27 October. The German 6th Mountain Division, acting as rear-guard, slowly withdrew up the main road along the coast (known as Riksvei 50, now called the E6) until reaching Tanafjord, some 70 mi (110 km) north-west of Kirkenes, which they reached on 6 November. It was to be their last contact with Soviet troops. However, the advance of the Soviet troops stopped and West-Finnmark and North-Troms became a no-man's land between the Soviet army and the German army. Here, several thousand people lived in hiding the whole winter 1944/45. These people were called cave people, living in caves, in huts made of driftwood and/or turf, under boats turned upside down, etc. The risk of being discovered by patrolling German boats was a constant threat during the months waiting for liberation.
