Battle of Dombås
The Battle of Dombås was fought between Norwegian Army infantry forces and German ''Fallschirmjäger'' paratroops in mid-April 1940. As part of their conquest of Norway south of Trondheim, and as a countermeasure against reported Allied landings in the Romsdal area of south western Norway, the Germans dropped a company of paratroopers near the vital railroad junction of Dombås〔 〕 on 14 April 1940. For the next five days, the German force blocked the Dovre Line railroad line between Oslo and Trondheim, as well as the main road between the two cities.
==Background==
Shortly after the German invasion of Norway on 9 April 1940, the Allies launched their own campaign in Norway to support the Norwegian Defence Force and prevent the Germans in seizing control of the strategically important country. The Norwegian Campaign was the first time France and the United Kingdom fought a major direct land confrontation with Nazi Germany.
On 13 April, ''Generaloberst'' Nikolaus von Falkenhorst—the commander of the German invasion forces in Norway—received orders from the ''Oberkommando der Wehrmacht'' (Armed Forces High Command; OKW) in Berlin to seize control of the village of Dombås, some north of Oslo, by paratroop attack. The reason for the OKW′s decision was a false report of Allied landings at Åndalsnes, an event that only occurred several days later. The main task at hand for the German troops was the destruction of the railroad, as well as blocking any Allied advance inland, particularly south through the Gudbrandsdal valley.〔Hauge-1 1995: 249〕〔Quarrie 2007: 8〕
