Image description

Swedish army during WW2. A soldier is seen feeding war pigeons with the portable lofts visible. War pigeons were used by the swedish military during World War II. The pigeons carried messages from one place to another often a piece of paper in a small metal container attached to it's leg. Homing pigeons were handled and trained by a special unit of swedish military. Homing pigeons played a vital part in the invasion of Normandy as radios could not be used for fear of vital information being intercepted by the enemy. Sweden December 1940.
