Norwegian Frontschwester SS Nurse (Lottas)

Post by liebchen »

Hi there

I am seeking a full length photograph of the Uniform worn by Norwegian Volunteer SS Nurses - or/and description of the uniform.

Can anyone help?

I have 1 pic of "lottas" in the book DIE WAFFEN SS by Herbert Walther, but there must be some more about somewhere.

Any info gladly received!

Cheers all.

Thanks for replying. I think I have found a book - using Google translator, just need to find out if they ship to UK.

Hope you dont mind me pointing this out Lottas are Finnish and comes from Lotta Svärd
She was a fictional character in the poem by the famous Finnish national poet, J.L. Runeberg, which tells about a young Finnish woman whose husband was called to the colours for the Russo-Finnish war of 1808-09. She insisted on joining him and after his death in battle she remained with the army doing what she could to help the men. Her name was adopted for the Lotta Svärd Organisation.

Ah that's interesting, cheers. The book I have just says Finnish and Norwegian Frontschwester, and then in brackets - lottas I didn't know that the term was coined from a name, or Finnish-specific.
