Scorched Forth

All of northernmost Norway as
far south as Lyngsfjorden has
now been virtually evacuated by
German troops who are now be-
lieVed massing near the so-called
Lyngen Line where many observ-
ers believe a stand will be made.
This does not necessarily mean
that no Germans remain in the
far north where rearguard units
of SS-troops are presumably still
tered about. 1t does mean the
mans have forcibly evacuated
all Norwegian civilians from that
far-flung and generally desolate
region, and it also means that the
Germans have burned down or
blown up all homes, shops. sheds.
factories or other buildings found
in that area. In nOrthernmost Nor
way the Germans have applied
the scorched earth policy with a
vengeance; frankly their aim has
been TO make it unfit for human
habitation. Residents of towns
torn from their homes with little
or no notice and forced aboard
