RT @CorporalFrisk: Following #WWII there was a long #mineclearing operation in the Gulf of Finland to remove the mines laid during the conflict. To commemorate this dangerous work and the men who did it, the surviving veterans today got the First Class Medal of the White Rose of Finland. Respect!

I dug around a bit and though there are several candidates from '42 and '43, it is a possibility that this could be the wreck of BV 138 C1 WNR 0310119, of 1./SeeAufl.Gr125
This plane went missing searching for convoy PQ-17 on July 4th '42, reportedly some 300km NE of Bear Island

Fascinating find! What looks like a Blohm und Voss BV-138 has been found on the seabed close to #Svalbard. The plane has likely been lost during operations against allied shipping during #WWII. #BV138 #Lfl5 https://t.co/DheIGtUctK

On June 10th 1940, the Norwegian forces in Norway signed a capitulation agreement.
The King and the Government had by then departed for the UK to continue the war from exile, along with parts of the Navy.
Our merchant fleet would prove vital in the months and years ahead.
