Historical Background:
After the landing of German troops at Narvik on the 9 April 1940, the Allies reacted quickly and the Royal Navy sank the 10 German destroyers in the Ofotfjord during a sea battle. On the ground, the 6th Norwegian Division tried to repulse the 3.Gebirgsdivision of General Dietl in the Narvik bridgehead. On the 24 April, the Norwegian attack on Lapphagen was repelled by German troops but they evacuated the village of Gratangsbotn where the Norwegian battalion I/IR 12 took place. The day after, German troops counter-attacked, with the support of mortars and the use of of Norwegian civilians as human shields. The Germans won the battle and the I/IR 12 battalion was nearly destroyed with 34 KIA, 64 wounded and 130 prisoners.
