Greeting, Countrymen

...or - more precisely - countries men and women. I'm glad to have found this site. After fifty years of living in Canada, this Oslo-born 63 year-old has taken to genealogy. I've been greatly impressed and helped by the digitalized Stats arkivet records and have had a fascinating year of wandering through old church books and censuses. But questions and topics remain, so I hope to be able to give and get here. Firstly, for example, my late dad was born in Poland and ended up in Norway after the war. He always said he was sent to Northern Finland with Organization Todt in 1944, but I can find no indication that they were operating there, especially that their alliance with Germany had ended. So does anybody have any material/thoughts on that possibility, or suggestions how otherwise an 18 year-old Pole ends up in gode, gamble Norge? Thank you. Mange take.
