„Non-German\u201d Wehrmacht soldiers in Norway<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The war is already fading into the mists of history, and so are its witnesses\u2014much like these two soldiers, who seem to vanish symbolically into the morning fog. Their faces are obscured, with only their silhouettes visible against the sun. Yet the distinctive shape of their helmets is so deeply ingrained in our memory that, even after many decades, they immediately identify them to today\u2019s observer: they are German soldiers in Adolf Hitler\u2019s army. But who are these two unknown men on the morning watch? Enemies? Occupiers? Nazis? Soldiers of a hostile army? Ordinary people in uniforms? Strangers on our land?<\/p>\n

The Wehrmacht was a uniformed behemoth. But were all soldiers in German uniforms truly the same? Were they all Nazis? Were they all enemies and perpetrators? Weren\u2019t some of them less hostile? And were they even all Germans?<\/p>\n

This exhibition highlights that citizens of the occupied lands were also conscripted into the Wehrmacht, placing them in a \u201cgrey zone\u201d between occupiers and the occupied. It corresponds to the larger Grey Zones Project developed at NTNU, which challenges Norway’s traditional black-and-white narratives of the occupation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
