Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Photo taken at the Lofoten War Memorial Museum (Norwegian: Lofoten Krigsminnemuseum) in Svolvær, Norway's largest exhibition of uniforms and smaller items related to the Second World War and the German occupation of Norway 1940 – 1945:
  • Pictures and objects from the Germans' forced evacuation and burning of Finnmark and North Troms in Notern Norway towards the end of the war from October 1944. Objects from midwife Nelly Lund Johansen.
    • Iron sewing machine used as a changing table for infants among those who had sought refuge in the tunnels at Bjørnevatn outside Kirkenes. During the liberation and the Soviet invasion in Sør-Varanger in 1944 at the end of World War II, a large number of people lived inside the mines during the fighting; estimates vary between 1,000 and 3,500.
    • Display figure in period-appropriate women's clothing with a gray everyday dress (or work smock), wool socks, and a patterned knit cardigan with buttons in loops and sewn-on pockets.
    • Full-size infant doll dressed in white, lying on the changing table.
    • Traditional Sami footwear in a size designed for small children; reindeer skin booties with the fur facing outward.
    • Photographs of, among other things, buildings on fire, refugees, German soldiers, and Soviet Russian liberators.
    • The door is marked with a German enamel sign; Durchgang verboten! means "no passage allowed."
    • Military backpack/haversack of leather with a Red Cross symbol.
etc.
The Liberation of Finnmark was a military operation, lasting from 23 October 1944 until 26 April 1945, in which Soviet and Norwegian forces wrested away control of Finnmark, the northernmost county of Norway, from Germany. It started with a Soviet offensive that liberated Kirkenes. To stall the Soviets, the Germans enacted a scorched earth policy and began to sabotage local infrastructure and destroy villages in the vicinity. Between 43,000 and 45,000 Norwegian civilians were forced out of Finnmark.
