The plight of Norwegians, fathered by German soldiers.
The Nazis installed Aryan maternity units in Norway between
1941 and 1945. After the war the lives of these 10,000 German children were fraught with difficulties. Some demand reparations. In Norway they were called tyskeunger (children of Germans). They were the issue of a German soldier and a Norwegien woman during the WW2
occupation of this Scandinavian country. The most famous was Frida Lynstaad, the former ABBA singer, whose 19 year old mother committed suicide, at the end of the war, when her Wehrmacht soldier father returned to his
legitimate family.
These war children may number 10,000 to 12,000. 19 of them gathered in Strasbourg, Thursday 8th March to seek the assistance of the European Court of Human Rights to examine the stigmatisation of their childhood when they were abandoned in Lebensborn orphanages or psychiatric institutions. In most WW2 European countries under Nazi occupation, such collaborating women were subject to vindictive treatment, further, children of these liaisons were condemned by systematic moral patriotism. Norway is embarrassed by the existence of these children. Europe take note, these people have a legitimate grievance.
