Telavåg Tragedy

This is a location-specific application. It will only function in Telavåg (in Sund municipality, Hordaland county).

Telavåg has a very special place in Norwegian history. The whole village was razed to the ground in May 1942 when the Germans took their revenge for the deaths of two Gestapo officers. They were killed in a shoot-out with resistance agents.
