An interesting perspective of the thread the 99th wove through WWII from it's recruitment of an all Norwegian unit, assigned to the 10th Mountain Division at Camp Hale, Colorado, fighting through Europe in places like Malmedy ( Battle of the Bulge), being part of "Wild Bill" Donovan's counter intel ops keeping Germans and logistics in Norway as Allied Forces fought through into Germany and finally landing in Norway after the war ended to make sure all Germans and 70,000 Russian save laborers ( many wanted to stay in Norway) were put onto trains back to Germany and Russia, dealing with collaborators and finally liberating Norway for the Norwegians.
