Description: In October 1944 Hitler ordered that the northern part of Norway be burnt and emptied of everything that could be of assistance to Russian troops or the Norwegian government-in-exile in London. Residents were forced into boats and trains, and hundreds of people died on the journey. This book provides a thorough overview of the forced evacuation of Finnmark, including personal narratives of the evacuees. It also gives voice to the many who participated in the reception work in the south.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 303-313) and index.
