The winning team. From left: Peder Puck, Alf Flinth, Thomas Andresen, Johan Svendsen, Ole Paulsen, Otto Klein, Fritz Karlsen, Arne Andersen, Johnny Helgesen, Ole Poulsbo, Hartvig Olavesen. They are wearing some substitute textile outfits, as the "original" outfits were too old (made before the war) and there were not sufficient textiles available for making real outfits.
