Dunderland (concentration camp)

Dunderland was a Nazi concentration camp in Norway during World War II. It was located in Dunderlandsdalen, a valley in Rana.^[1] As of May 1945, it had between 477^[2] and 481 prisoners.^[3] The camp's purpose was to make prisoners do forced labor on the Nordland Line.

In 2017, a government agency called the Directorate for Cultural Heritage ordered the remains of the concentration camp to be preserved.^[1]

Prisoners

On 14 May 1945, a medical doctor named Dag Fodstad described the camp's prisoners as "477 Russians, of which 330 are sick[.] 40 of them have tuberculosis, many with oedema, [and] 100 are strongly fatigued".^[2]
