Bombingen av Kristiansund

  My mother comes from Kristiansund, born in 1940, she grew up through the occupation. I have some of my Grandfather's 35mm negatives from this period and as well as 16mm film footage of bombing aftermath and fires during the night if the Archive is interested. I believe his diaries are already in the archive. Harald Helsing. Kind regards Mark Kisby mark@kisby.net

  I knew that Melbourneians had air raid practices... A sturdy table would offer some protection from debris falling, but definitely not a direct hit! It would have been tough keeping babies and toddlers still under a table if such an air raid had actually happened, it would have made such a difference to their ability to keep the children as safe as possible! A slice of life we might not think about when we reflect on WWII and life in Melbourne!
