Scorched Earth

Overview

During the German retreat in WWII, Finnmark and Nord-Troms were laid waste - villages, schools and hospitals razed and 60,000 people driven into mountain hideouts - but, come liberation, those who’d survived in caves and huts returned with fierce determination to rebuild their homeland.
