Dunderland (concentration camp)
Dunderland was a Nazi concentration camp in Norway during World War II. It was located in Dunderlandsdalen, a valley in Rana.[1] As of May 1945, it had between 477[2] and 481 prisoners.[3] The camp's purpose was to make prisoners do forced labor on the Nordland Line.
In 2017, a government agency called the Directorate for Cultural Heritage ordered the remains of the concentration camp to be preserved.[1]
Prisoners
On 14 May 1945, a medical doctor named Dag Fodstad described the camp's prisoners as "477 Russians, of which 330 are sick[.] 40 of them have tuberculosis, many with oedema, [and] 100 are strongly fatigued".[2]
