From left: the Swedish Untersturmführer Gunnar-Erik Eklöf (platoon commander in the Nordland’s famous Schwedenzug – 3./AA 11), the German SS-Sturmmann Muzzi Emmerich, and the Swedish Unterscharführer Markus Ledin. The three men brew up coffee with their half-track in the background during the Dünaburg fighting in Latvia, July 1944. Ledin would later be cut off behind Soviet lines before escaping home via Finland in a requisitioned fisherman’s boat. (Lennart Westberg)
