In 1942, the 99th Infantry Battalion of the U.S. Army was activated in Camp Ripley, Minnesota consisting of Norwegian nationals and U.S. Citizens of Norwegian decent. They trained in Camp Hale, Colorado for an invasion of Nazi occupied Norway. But they saw battle on the European continent. This is their story, told by the veterans themselves.
