Description During the Easter of 1944, a German orderly was shot at Nestifjellet in Ullensaker while on his regular route. He managed to make his way to the nearest house, but died on the doorstep. The culprit was seen and recognized, but it was not reported. Sheriff Wohlen, a member of the fascist party Nasjonal Samling, actually protected the people of Ullensaker by convincing the German authorities that no one in his muncipality could have been responsible for the act. The shooter later claimed the motive was to take the orderly's motorcycle (though he never did).
Another drawing for the local history association.

I'm not satisfied with the shading on this one. In many places it's plain ugly, and it doesn't make any sense either. Other than that, I like it. I dunno what an orderly would have looked like, so I gave him a regular Wehrmacht uniform, reffed from pictures I found through Google.

Although some of the shading is admittedly a little odd, it looks pretty good over all.

And it has an interesting story to go with it, so that's hard to beat!
