In the northern most part of Norway lies the small town of Narvik with a population of only 20.000.
During World War II Narvik was one of the main reasons why Norway was attacked by the Germans. The reason being that Hitler was determined to secure and utilise Narvik harbour for dispatching iron ore for production of weapons and machinery for the German army.
Hence Narvik partially suffered the same fate as the city of Kiruna in Sweden, an area also rich in these precious metals. Kiruna in Sweden does however not have a port, and therefore Narvik was strategically a very important town.
Kiruna in Sweden is about 110 miles from Narvik in Norway.
