The Battles of Narvik in 1940 were all about who was to have control of Europe\u2019s largest iron ore resources, as well as the supply routes for transporting the ore. Narvik was and is an ice-free port built to ship iron ore from the important mines in Kiruna in Northern Sweden. Nazi Germany tried to gain control of this vital supply, and the Allies tried to stop them.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-2\">\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\/06\/xx023.jpg\" data-size=\"1240x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/xx023.jpg\" alt=\"Shaving with a bayonet at the front \u00a9 Narvik War Museum\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/xx023.jpg\" data-caption=\"Shaving with a bayonet at the front \u00a9 Narvik War Museum\" \/>\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\/2021\/04\/Gjester-ser-pa\u030a-uniformer.-Foto-Narvik-Krigsmuseum-scaled.jpg\" data-size=\"2560x1707\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">02<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Gjester-ser-pa\u030a-uniformer.-Foto-Narvik-Krigsmuseum-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"From the exhibits \u00a9 Narvik Krigsmuseum\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Gjester-ser-pa\u030a-uniformer.-Foto-Narvik-Krigsmuseum-scaled.jpg\" data-caption=\"From the exhibits \u00a9 Narvik Krigsmuseum\" \/>\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: Shaving with a bayonet at the front \u00a9 Narvik War Museum<\/figcaption><figcaption>02: From the exhibits \u00a9 Narvik Krigsmuseum<\/figcaption><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-attack-on-norway-during-second-world-war\">The attack on Norway during second world war<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On 9 April 1940, German forces launched a co-ordinated attack on the most important ports in Southern Norway, and on Narvik in the north. In the grey light of dawn in heavy snow, 10 German destroyers entered Narvik harbour, where two old Norwegian coastal defence ships, \u00abEidsvold\u00bb and \u00abNorge\u00bb, were anchored. The two Norwegian ships took up the fight, and were immediately sunk with great loss of life. The destroyers anchored in Narvik and 2,000 Austrian mountain troopers (<em>Gebirgsj\u00e4ger<\/em>) were landed.Narvik was occupied by the Germans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-first-naval-battle\">The first naval battle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the breach of Norwegian neutrality on 8 April, and the British Royal Navy having laid mines along the coast from Hustadvika to Bod\u00f8, the British were quick to respond with a counter-attack. On 10 April, five British destroyers attacked the German destroyers in the Port of Narvik. They succeeded in sinking two of the German destroyers, and a third was badly damaged. Seven other German ships and several merchant vessels were sunk, which had a crucial impact on the supply situation. The British naval forces also suffered losses, two of their five destroyers were sunk and a third was heavily damaged. Narvik harbour was filled with shipwrecks.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-vnn-gallery gallery-count-2\">\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\/06\/FNA_130317_0140-2.jpg\" data-size=\"800x800\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/FNA_130317_0140-2.jpg\" alt=\"Gloves given by the people of Ballangen to naval soldiers from the British war ship &quot;Hardy&quot;, sunk south of Narvik.

They sank eight German ships in the port of Narvik and in the Rombakfjord. This left the Germans with no naval resources with which to fight back, and most of their ammunition, war materiel and supplies had been lost beneath the waves. The majority of the German marines were, however, rescued, and were equipped with the uniforms of the vanquished Norwegian forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-land-campaign\">The land campaign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2,000 Austrian mountain troopers who had landed on 9 April worked systematically to extend their bridgehead in the Narvik area. They soon received reinforcements in the shape of 2,600 marines who had been rescued and brought ashore from the sunken German destroyers. On 16 April this combined force defeated a Norwegian force of 200 men at Bj\u00f8rnfjell, and were thus able to occupy the entire length of the Ofotbanen railway and secure reinforcements of personnel and materiel via Sweden. Moving northwards from Bjerkvik, they crossed the mountain to Gratangsbotn in an attempt to reach Bardufoss airport, but were stopped at Lapphaugen by determined Norwegian resistance from units of the 6<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;Division under the command of General Carl Gustav Fleischer. The Norwegians now systematically recaptured mountain summits and heights until the German front lines had been pushed back to the Swedish border.<\/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\/2021\/04\/Malmbordet.-Foto-Narvik-Krigsmuseum-scaled.jpg\" data-size=\"2560x1707\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"block-gallery-count\">01<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nordnorge.com\/content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Malmbordet.-Foto-Narvik-Krigsmuseum-2048x1366.jpg\" alt=\"Naval battles of Narvik: 9th - 13th of April 1940.

But this plan was never executed. Already prior to retaking Narvik, the Allies had decided to withdraw from Norway: the situation in France at the time was critical and the armed forces were needed there. The victory in Narvik was, however, a real shot in the arm for the Allied war effort, and Winston Churchill said \u00abLook to Narvik\u00bb. Between 4 and 8 June, the Allied forces were evacuated from Narvik, and on 8 June the town was re-occupied by the Germans. On 10 June the Norwegians capitulated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-war-memorial-museum-and-landscapes-of-war\"> War Memorial Museum and Landscapes of War<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the centre of Narvik is the war museum. Using wall charts, photographs and objects such as uniforms, weapons and medals, the museum tells the dramatic story of the various stages of the Battles of Narvik. Other World War II themes are also in focus, such as the fate of Soviet prisoners of war and the sinking of the Tirpitz. Narvik also has a Peace Chapel and a large war cemetery. In the areas around Narvik where the fighting took place, six commemorative artist-commissioned slabs or columns have been erected in what has been called the \u201cKrigshistorisk landskap\u201d
