A demolitions instructor showing Rangers how to connect culver charges (trummladdningar). These are specially designed for blowing up road culverts (vägtrummor), and thereby making it impossible for enemy supplies from reaching the front line.


A Ranger crawling through a road culvert with the detonator wire from a culvert charge.


Waiting in a foxhole for the enemy. The Ranger on the left is holding a 84mm recoil-less rifle (granat gevär).
