Skorpa prisoner of war camp
Skorpa prisoner of war camp was a facility built by the Norwegian 6th Division to hold German prisoners-of-war during the 1940 Norwegian Campaign of the Second World War. Skorpa was the main PoW camp in Northern Norway and held around 500 civilian and military prisoners when it was shut down at the end of the Norwegian Campaign.
==Background==
With the outbreak of war between Norway and Nazi Germany following the German invasion of Norway increasing numbers of German prisoners fell into Norwegian hands in the fighting that followed. While many of these were soon liberated by the advancing German forces, the situation for those captured in Northern Norway was different. The Germans fighting at Narvik were on the defensive against superior Norwegian and Allied forces. Prisoners taken during the fighting were sent behind Allied lines, outside the reach of the ''Wehrmacht''. After having first interned the German prisoners at various locations around the region the decision was made by the Norwegian 6th Division command to establish a central prisoner of war camp at the small and isolated island of Skorpa in Kvænangen in Troms county.〔Sandberg 1945: 144〕〔Steen 1958: 250〕 Access to the island was by boat.〔Fjørtoft 1991: 344〕 The nearest Norwegian armed forces other than the guard force were 10 to 12 hours away from the camp.〔Fjørtoft 1990: 423〕
