That and it was mentioned the unofficial guerrilla doctrine was especially prevalent in Finnmark.

But yeah, buying time I can see.

Yes, but I do not think putting an essentially "guerrilla" or militia force in trenches, as part of a static defense is prudent. However, hastily laid IED's, mines, and other obstacles along with snipers and RPG teams is most appealing to a Home Guard tasked to reconnoiter, delay, and harass an aggressor while securing important domestic installations until follow up forces are mobilized and put to the fight.

So, I agree with Suhiir's initial response to take the Home Guard out of trenches.

IMHO.
