I'll give you a clue. It was in an African country in 1978 and numbers to closest 100 will do!

Well done Grimnar. A well deserved turn to you methinks!
p.s. The country was Zaire but getting the exact figure is better than expected.

almost tomtom, but not the correct answer.
Falkenhorst was the planner for the military operations against Denmark and Norway (Operasjon Weserübung), he had also command over the military operations in Norway at some time.

HINT: This guy was made ......... of norway even before the military invasion was completed. He committed suicide on May 8, 1945 by detonating 50 kilograms of dynamite in his bunker hideout
