   Leave it to soft-coddled Euro civilians to attack one of it's few capable combat units.

"The Telemark troops are special operations forces, something like American Rangers."
 
I can't find anything to substantiate that.  While they seem well regarded as an aggressive infantry force.. They are mechanized infantry (which is not like the Rangers or other U.S. special forces) and appears to be part of the Norwegian "Brigade Nord" as a standard mechanized line infantry battalion.
