Trondheim Under Occupation - Guided Tour

On the morning of April 9, 1940, German soldiers climed ashore at Ravnkloa. This was the begining of five years of occupation, in which the people of Trondheim and Central Norway experienced hardships, suffering and loss.

We explore locations connected with the city's wartime experience. Listen to our guide tell the stories of local Jews sent to the death camps, and how Norwegian collaborates tortured their victims in service of their German masters. Several of the city's most prominent buildings have a dark heritage connected to the occupation.
