In 1941, military operations were conducted by large formations
along the northern coast of Scandinavia – for the first time in
history of warfare. A modern army suddenly swept into that isolated
and inhospitable region that was yet to possess the level of
importance it would later assume in Cold War polar strategy. The
Arctic Front was the northernmost theatre in the war waged by
Germany against Russia. For a period of four years, German troops
from all branches of the Wehrmacht fought side by side with Finnish
border guard units. The high point of the war on the Arctic Front
was the assembly and advance of Germany’s Mountain Corps Norway
in the summer and autumn of 1941. Commanded by general of the
mountain troops, Eduard Dietl, and composed of the 2nd and 3rd
Mountain Divisions, the Mountain Corps advanced out of occupied
North Norway, assembled in the Petsamo Corridor in North Finland,
and struck into Russian territory in an attempt to seize Murmansk.
It did not reach its objective. This account of the operation was
written by Wilhelm Hess, quartermaster of the Mountain Corps
Norway. He draws upon his personal experience of the conditions and
actions on the Arctic Front in order to describe and analyse the
environment, the sequence of events, and the reasons behind certain
decisions. In addition to describing how operations conducted by
the Mountain Corps unfolded, Hess provides insight as to how the
terrain, the flow of supplies, and the war at sea impacted those
operations.
