When the war was over and the occupying Nazis left, they had built roads, bridges, airports, railroads, docks, power stations, buildings for industry and fortifications by using forced labour. Much of this infrastructure is still in use. The exhibition Grossraum shows how Norway became part OT was a semi-military construction organisation, which of an economic system completely dependent on forced situated itself within a proud German engineering tradition. labour. As many as 20 million people, primarily from the To begin with, OT recruited volunteer workers, but as Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, were exploited in the the war progressed, the organisation became increasingly Nazi forced labour economy. In relation to population size, dependent on forced labour, both prisoners of war and civil Norway is probably the occupied country that had the largest forced labourers. While the prisoners of war received brutal contingency of forced labourers. More than 130 000 treatment, the civil forced labourers had better conditions. people were forcibly sent to work at German construction They received salary and, at least to start with, had some social sites in Norway.

Formally, the Wehrmacht was responsible for the Norwegian understanding about the war. We know little about prisoners, but in practice part of this responsibility was given the prisoners of war, and even less about the civil forced to OT and their private partners. As such, private construction labourers who were on Norwegian soil. We do not even know companies and ordinary civilians, had a direct influence on the much about the largest entrepreneur on the German side, prisoner’s living conditions. Organisation Todt (OT).

Involuntary labour in various forms has played an important role throughout During World War 2, Organisation Todt (OT) was European history. In the 19th century, European states used responsible for large construction projects in Germany forced labour liberally to build roads and railroads in their and in the territories occupied by Germany. OT built colonies overseas. During The First World War, prisoners of roads, railroads, power stations and several different war were used as forced labourers on both sides of the front. fortifications. Established in 1938, the organisation was named after its first leader, the engineer Fritz Todt. However, due to the racist ideology embedded in Nazism, OT planned and organised the constructions, but let the use of forced labour during World War 2 reached an private contractors construct the installations.

    Masteroppgave i Kulturmøte Oppgavetittel: «Russenschwein!» Okkupasjonshistorie fra Solør med fokus på russiske tvangsarbeidere årene 1943-1945 ved Haslemoen leir – møte mellom lokalbefolkning, krigsfanger og Herrefolket. Studiepoeng: 60 Forfatternavn.: Elin Gundersen Mnd/År.: Mai 2017 Side 1 av 100 Abstract This thesis is looking into the local history in Solør during the Second World War, particularly russian prisoners of war. It will also briefly look in to how the story from Solør has been told for later generations in books and colloquially, and if the national and the local history is the story of the victor. There were also a relatively high share members of Nasjonal Samling, the Norwegian Nationalist Party, in the Solør area both before and during the Second World War. People in Solør, as many other places, had people on both sides that worked for or against the Government and people who just tried to live their lives as normal as they could. It’s the meeting between the different parts during the war and the first period in peacetime this thesis is also trying to look into. There were several million Soviet prisoners of war taken after Germany invaded The Soviet Union (USSR) June 22. 1941, this was called “Operation Barbarossa”. The nazis needed a lot of workers and forced their prisoners into labour. In Norway they had around 500 hundred small and bigger camps, Stalags, where forced working slaves were used for different things. Mostly in the infrastructure like roads, airports and railways. They usually didn’t get enough food, they were undernurished, and they often got sick.

I prosjektet skal NGU tilrettelegge data fra Grus- og Pukkdatabasen og foreta en klassifisering av forekomstene med hensyn til hvor viktige de er som en framtidig ressurs for byggeråstoff både lokalt og regionalt. Resultatene presenteres i form av tekst og tematiske kart. I Vefsn kommune er det registrert 58 sand- og grusforekomster. Av disse er 23 volumberegnet til samlet å inneholde ca. 14 mill. m3 sand og grus. Bare 7,5 mill. m3 (50 %) av dette er imidlertid vurdert utnyttbart til byggetekniske formål. I tillegg produseres det pukk med god kvalitet fra to pukkverk i en gabbroforekomst i kommunen. Kvaliteten på løsmassene er generelt dårlig både med hensyn til mekanisk styrke og korngradering.

  • Revisjon Av Konsesjonsvilkår for Røssågareguleringene I Hemnes, Hattfjelldal Og Grane Kommuner I Nordland
    Olje- og energidepartementet Postboks 8148 Dep 0033 OSLO Vår dato: 05.11.2020 Vår ref.: 200700445-123 Arkiv: 315 / 155.Z Saksbehandler: Deres dato: Ragnhild Stokker Deres ref.: Revisjon av konsesjonsvilkår for Røssågareguleringene i Hemnes, Hattfjelldal og Grane kommuner i Nordland - NVEs innstilling På bakgrunn av krav fra Hemnes, Hattfjelldal og Grane kommuner, åpnet NVE sak om revisjon av konsesjonsvilkår for reguleringene i Røssågavassdraget, inkludert Øvre og Nedre Røssåga kraftverk. Statkraft Energi AS er konsesjonær. NVE har lagt vekt på hensynet til naturverdiene som finnes i vassdraget og balansert dette mot hensynet til Røssågareguleringenes store betydning for kraftproduksjon og kraftsystemet. Vi anbefaler at det innføres nye og moderne standard konsesjonsvilkår for Røssågareguleringene. Vilkårene vil gi myndighetene hjemmel til å pålegge relevante, avbøtende tiltak. Videre anbefaler vi at det slippes en minstevannføring nedstrøms Nedre Røssåga kraftverk på 30 m3/s hele året, samt smoltutvandringsflom med varighet i tre døgn i mai/juni. Vi anbefaler også at det fastsettes begrensninger for effektkjøring for driftsvannføringer lavere enn 60 m3/s. I tillegg at vannstanden i Stormyrbassenget holdes stabilt høy i hekkeperioden for fugl. Vi foreslår at det pålegges konsesjonæren å yte tilskudd til et fond, ved årlige utbetalinger på 150 000 kr, som skal fremme fisk, vilt og friluftsliv i kommunene. Foreslåtte restriksjoner for vannføring og vannstand vil ikke føre til krafttap, sammenlignet med dagens praksis. Fleksibiliteten og regulerbarheten i systemet vil i liten grad bli påvirket.

    A Rb-Sr age study from the Mosjøen unit, Helgeland Nappe Complex, and its bearing on the timing of tectonometamorphic events within the Uppermost Allochthon, Central Scandinavian Caledonides, Norway B. O. TØRUOBAKKEN & M. MICKELSON Tørudbakken, B. O. & Mickelson, M.: A Rb-Sr age study from the Mosjøen unit, Helgeland Nappe Complex and its bearing on the timing of tectonometamorphic events within the Uppermost Al­ lochthon, CentralScandinavian Caledonides, Norway.Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift, Vol. 66, pp. 263- 270. Oslo 1986. ISSN 0029-196X. The Mosjøen unit within the Helgeland Nappe Complex is made up of a polydeformed supracrustal sequence consisting mainly of greenschists, greenstones and layers of calcite and dolomite marbles, which have been intruded by large masses of igneous rocks ranging in composition from gabbroic to granitic. The main structural elements and the metamorphic maximum are related to the 02- deformation. The Mosjøen gabbro, yielding an igneous Rb-Sr mineral isochron age of 420 ± 8 m.y. (10 = .70412 ± .00003), was emplaced during the 02 event. A 433 ± 11 m.y. total rock Rb-Sr isochron was obtained for a granitic dyke crosscutting the 02 structures. The geochronological data are inter­ preted to indicate a Silurian age for the main tectonometamorphic event (02) in the Mosjøen unit. Previous geochronological studies from other parts of the Uppermost AUochthon demonstrate strong early Caledonian (late Cambrian to early Ordovician) metamorphism and deformation prior to Sil­ urian deformation. The present tectonostratigraphic sequence within the Uppermost Allochthon was established during the main Caledonian thrusting event in the late Silurian to early Oevonian. B. O. Tørudbakken & M.

Eriksen, Tore Jørgen Hanisch1, Arild Sæther The Rise and Fall of the Oslo School2 Abstract In 1931 Ragnar Frisch became professor at the University of Oslo. By way of his research, a new study programme and new staff he created the ”Oslo School”, characterised by mathematical modelling, econometrics, economic planning and scepticism towards the market economy. Consequently, detailed state economic planning and governance dominated Norwegian economic policy for three decades after WWII. In the 1970s the School’s dominance came to an end when the belief in competitive markets gained a foothold and the economy had poor performance. As a result a decentralized market economy was reintroduced. However, mathematical modelling and econometrics remain in the core of most economic programmes. JEL classification: B23, B29,B31, B59, O21, P41, P51 1. Introduction The main purpose of this presentation is to tell the story of how Ragnar Frisch founded the so-called Oslo School in economics, and secondly, to outline the main features of this School and investigate its major influence on the Norwegian post-war economy.

  • Revision of the EU's Arctic Strategy
    Sent by e-mail Breivikbotn, November 9th 2020 Input – Revision of the EU’s Arctic strategy Additional input from a total of 40 municipalities in North Norway, to the public consultation regarding the revision of the EU’s Arctic strategy. The municipalities are represented by 5 inter- municipal counsils; Vest-Finnmark Rådet (7 municipalities in Troms and Finnmark County), Vesterålen regionråd (6 municipalities in Nordland County), Salten Regionråd (10 municipalities in Nordland County), Indre Helgeland Regionråd (5 municipalities in Nordland County) and Helgelandsrådet (12 municipalities in Nordland County); 1. In your view, what have been the EU’s main achievements and failures under each of the three priorities in the 2016 Joint Communication? Vest-Finnmark Rådet, Vesterålen regionråd, Salten Regionråd, Indre Helgeland Regionråd and Helgelandsrådet embraces the EU’s engagement in promoting sustainable development in the Arctic. This priority marks a positive shift in how the Arctic is perceived as a strategically important territory, with green growth potential for the region and Europe. The EU’s top priority should be to assist the region in overcoming the Arctic paradox. That is, changing a demographic trend that is inversely correlated with economic growth. A stable demographic development is a necessary precondition for development and security in the Arctic regions. The most important means of meeting regional challenges in the Nordic/European part of the Arctic is by making use of the large natural resources in the region to stimulate economic growth and create new attractive jobs including utilizing the research institutions in the Arctic. The EU’s Arctic engagement shows great achievement, as exemplified by the processes leading to the report on Arctic investment needs in 2017, and the EU Arctic Forum in 2019.

    Knut Kristian Langva Døscher German Reprisals in Norway During the Second World War Master’s thesis in Historie Supervisor: Jonas Scherner Trondheim, May 2017 Norwegian University of Science and Technology Preface and acknowledgements The process for finding the topic I wanted to write about for my master's thesis was a long one. It began with narrowing down my wide field of interests to the Norwegian resistance movement. This was done through several discussions with professors at the historical institute of NTNU. Via further discussions with Frode Færøy, associate professor at The Norwegian Home Front Museum, I got it narrowed down to reprisals, and the cases and questions this thesis tackles. First, I would like to thank my supervisor, Jonas Scherner, for his guidance throughout the process of writing my thesis. I wish also to thank Frode Færøy, Ivar Kraglund and the other helpful people at the Norwegian Home Front Museum for their help in seeking out previous research and sources, and providing opportunity to discuss my findings. I would like to thank my mother, Gunvor, for her good help in reading through the thesis, helping me spot repetitions, and providing a helpful discussion partner. Thanks go also to my girlfriend, Sigrid, for being supportive during the entire process, and especially towards the end. I would also like to thank her for her help with form and syntax. I would like to thank Joachim Rønneberg, for helping me establish the source of some of the information regarding the aftermath of the heavy water raid. I also thank Berit Nøkleby for her help with making sense of some contradictory claims by various sources.
