I just received the Fire and Ice and have not had time to read all of it, but it all seems disturbingly familiar from my own childhood in North Troms. What I really don’t understand – the publisher tries to not sell this book. Why?

I hope to read the book, there are so many WWII histories. I’m from eastern France and my grandfather has such stories about the resistance. What our grandparents endured during that time is beyond everything we will ever be able to imagine.

One I remember reading about not long ago (the anniversary for the liberation of Kirkenes) was about how the civilians would risk their lives (there were battles at Kirkenes, so they had to hide in the mines) to go out and fetch food and other stuff for the people hiding there. A particularly rememberworthy one is of the people going out to fetch milk and towels for a woman about to give birth in the caves, having to sneak past German scouts.
