German forces in Finland; Red Army units entered Norwegian
territory at the beginning of the winter of 1944 and they occupied
during weeks Finnmark, the northern of Norway, where the
German authorities ordered a mass evacuation of civilians
Norwegian amid arctic winter. The low significance of the war
against Soviet troops caused none progress through the icy
mountainous regions of Northern Norway, compared to other much
more critical fronts. However, the Germans ordered an scorched
earth plan that, together with the harsh winter of Finnmark, caused
great hardship to the Norwegian population of that region.
