The Military Museum in Setermoen tells the story of the military in Inner Troms during the 20th Century.\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Northern Norway used to be a long way from all the conflicts in Europe, and there was never any particular military presence here. The young men of Nordland, unlike those further south, were never called up for military service either. However, things started to change at the end of the 19th Century; Norway was preparing for independence from Sweden, and the iron ore railway line from Kiruna to Narvik, completed in 1902, made the area more interesting from a strategic point of view. Immigration from Finland was also seen as a danger to the territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-4\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2013-05-29_7515.jpg\" data-size=\"1200x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2013-05-29_7515.jpg\" alt=\"A post war recreation of a bar setting \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2013-05-29_7515.jpg\" data-caption=\"A post war recreation of a bar setting \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2013-05-29_7481.jpg\" data-size=\"533x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2013-05-29_7481.jpg\" alt=\"Photography give visual history to the artefacts \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2013-05-29_7481.jpg\" data-caption=\"Photography give visual history to the artefacts \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/171cacc9c8682f73c6dd1ff9572c2634.jpg\" data-size=\"390x585\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/171cacc9c8682f73c6dd1ff9572c2634.jpg\" alt=\"Uniform from the earliest 20th century \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/171cacc9c8682f73c6dd1ff9572c2634.jpg\" data-caption=\"Uniform from the earliest 20th century \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2013-05-29_7484.jpg\" data-size=\"533x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">04<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2013-05-29_7484.jpg\" alt=\"Ship history \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2013-05-29_7484.jpg\" data-caption=\"Ship history \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"vnn-gallery-figcaptions\"><figcaption>01: A post war recreation of a bar setting \u00a9 Knut Hansvold<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: Photography give visual history to the artefacts \u00a9 Knut Hansvold<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: Uniform from the earliest 20th century \u00a9 Knut Hansvold<\/figcaption><figcaption>04: Ship history \u00a9 Knut Hansvold<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">General conscription ebbed and flowed <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When general conscription was introduced in Northern Norway in 1897, a parade ground was created at Setermoen. The recruits were called up for a few weeks in late summer, carefully timed to avoid the haymaking season. However, activity increased during World War I, when Norway was afraid of becoming drawn into the European conflict. From the 1920s, things quietened down again, and it was only at the end of the 1930s when tensions increased in Europe that more troops were mobilised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stermoean was once the Norwegian army headquarters <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>German troops occupied the port used for the export of iron ore in Narvik on the morning of 9th April 1940. Over the next few weeks, the German bridgehead was gradually extended. Norwegian army action was coordinated from Setermoen, and with invaluable help from Britain, France and Poland, Norway took Narvik back on 28th May. However, on 7th June, the Norwegian resistance surrendered, and the whole country was occupied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">All aspects of World War Two are laid out to see<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Military Museum in Setermoen looks at many aspects of World War II, including the soldiers from Inner Troms who served in the Canadian Army, the sinking of the Tirpitz battleship and the labour camps for Russian prisoners. The resistance groups in Troms worked ceaselessly, and this came at a price. A tree trunk where two members of the resistance were executed is on display in the museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-4\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/011ec63fdcae33d563c811bca19ee10a.jpg\" data-size=\"640x480\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/011ec63fdcae33d563c811bca19ee10a.jpg\" alt=\"Outdoors you&#039;ll find vehicles from the military history \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/011ec63fdcae33d563c811bca19ee10a.jpg\" data-caption=\"Outdoors you&#039;ll find vehicles from the military history \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/9d3bce25944fcbefcc92bc2ba5d10514.jpg\" data-size=\"361x542\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/9d3bce25944fcbefcc92bc2ba5d10514.jpg\" alt=\"Second World War uniform \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/9d3bce25944fcbefcc92bc2ba5d10514.jpg\" data-caption=\"Second World War uniform \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2013-05-29_7523.jpg\" data-size=\"533x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2013-05-29_7523.jpg\" alt=\"Weaponry \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2013-05-29_7523.jpg\" data-caption=\"Weaponry \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/750bb8ebc0e177a39607871b7cb433dd.jpg\" data-size=\"361x542\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">04<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/750bb8ebc0e177a39607871b7cb433dd.jpg\" alt=\"Winter can be extremely cold in inner troms, therefore uniforms were adapted to keep soldiers warm \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/750bb8ebc0e177a39607871b7cb433dd.jpg\" data-caption=\"Winter can be extremely cold in inner troms, therefore uniforms were adapted to keep soldiers warm \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"vnn-gallery-figcaptions\"><figcaption>01: Outdoors you&#039;ll find vehicles from the military history \u00a9 Knut Hansvold<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: Second World War uniform \u00a9 Knut Hansvold<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: Weaponry \u00a9 Knut Hansvold<\/figcaption><figcaption>04: Winter can be extremely cold in inner troms, therefore uniforms were adapted to keep soldiers warm \u00a9 Knut Hansvold<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8216;Kari&#8217; was Norway&#8217;s spy centre <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From 1943, the Norwegian politicians in Sweden ran an intelligence station known as &#8216;Kari&#8217;, just over the border from Setermoen. Most of the resistance efforts were centred around this station, and the area&#8217;s Sami reindeer herders played a vital role in communication across the border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Northern Brigade served to delay invasion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After World War II, Norway built up an effective military force that would enable it to defend Norwegian territory. It inherited some of its equipment from the German forces and was also given a lot by America as part of the Marshall Plan. The biggest threat was the Soviet Union, and Inner Troms, with Setermoen at its centre, was a focal point. In 1953, the Northern Brigade was formed, which continued until 1996. Young men from all over the country did their National Service in Inner Troms, and at one time, Norway could muster an army of over 200,000 men. Its mission was to hold its position until Allied assistance arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Winter exercises bring together the NATO countries to the area<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the Cold War to the present day, soldiers from across NATO countries come to Troms to carry out large-scale winter exercises. Inner Troms offered tough winter conditions and plenty of room for manoeuvres, but under controlled conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-4\">\n\t\t<ul><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2013-05-29_7483.jpg\" data-size=\"1200x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2013-05-29_7483.jpg\" alt=\"Trinkets and artwork \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2013-05-29_7483.jpg\" data-caption=\"Trinkets and artwork \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2013-05-29_7501.jpg\" data-size=\"1200x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2013-05-29_7501-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"Old newspapers discussing wartime \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2013-05-29_7501.jpg\" data-caption=\"Old newspapers discussing wartime \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2013-05-29_7527.jpg\" data-size=\"1200x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">03<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2013-05-29_7527-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"More weaponry and map of the area \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2013-05-29_7527.jpg\" data-caption=\"More weaponry and map of the area \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2013-05-29_7526.jpg\" data-size=\"1200x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">04<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2013-05-29_7526-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"Signage with the axis symbol on top \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2013-05-29_7526.jpg\" data-caption=\"Signage with the axis symbol on top \u00a9 Knut Hansvold\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"vnn-gallery-figcaptions\"><figcaption>01: Trinkets and artwork \u00a9 Knut Hansvold<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: Old newspapers discussing wartime \u00a9 Knut Hansvold<\/figcaption><figcaption>03: More weaponry and map of the area \u00a9 Knut Hansvold<\/figcaption><figcaption>04: Signage with the axis symbol on top \u00a9 Knut Hansvold<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don&#8217;t forget to see the &#8216;Krag&#8217;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One room is dedicated to weapons, and contains weapons dating back to the 17th Century.
