Historical Background:
During the invasion of Norway (Operation Weserübung), while 3.Gebirgs Division was landing in Trondheim, some Norwegian soldiers, under the command of Major Holtermann and refusing the surrender, took refuge in the old Ingstadkleiva fort, also called Hegra Fortress. From 15th to 17th of April 1940, 138.Gebirsjaëger Regiment attacked from Hegra village to capture the fortress without any result but heavy casualties. Further,the fortress was besieged and only on the fire of field artillery and Lutfwaffe bombers. On the 5th of May 1940,with the end of the Allied campaign in Norway, and because of lack of food and water, the fortress garrison surrendered.
