Trandumskogen

Grave at Trandumskogen

Trandumskogen is a forest located in Ullensaker, Akershus county, Norway. It was the site of one of the first discoveries in May 1945 of German mass graves in Norway. The German executioner Oskar Hans was the officer in command of the unit performing the executions.[1]

In total 173 Norwegians, 6 British and 15 Soviet citizens were executed in Trandumskogen. Many had been sentenced to death by the German occupation forces, but there was also a great number who were subject to arbitrary executions. Most were resistance fighters, while the Russians were prisoners in German prison camps who had tried to escape. Five of the Britons had been arrested for planning to blow up the heavy water plant at Vemork, and the sixth Briton was involved in a sabotage attempt on the battleship Tirpitz. After the Second World War, Norwegian citizens sentenced for treason, and leading members of the Norwegian national socialist party Nasjonal Samling were forced to open the graves and exhume the bodies of the executed prisoners.[2] The medical identification of the corps was led by professor in forensic medicine Georg Waaler, assisted by dentist Ferdinand Strøm.[3]

From May 5, 2020, Trandumskogen is protected as a national cultural heritage site.[4]

Memorial

On 10 October 1954, the memorial in Trandumskogen was unveiled. Crown Prince Olav stood for the ceremony. Per Palle Storm, artist and sculptor and professor at the National Art Academy had carried out the artistic part of the work. The memorial is carved of light Granite (Iddefjordgranitt). To the south side an inscription is carved in Norwegian. The same text translated into Russian is cut into the east side and in English to the west side. The memorial is located south of the burial ground. The memorial lists the names of those who were executed there. The memorial has status as a Norwegian national memorial.[5]

The text on the memorial reads:[6]

SUBJECTS AND 6 BRITONS WERE

In May 2021, Forsvarsbygg cut down the trees in the forest causing widespread condemnation.[7] This action resulted in a criminal complaint which is as of June 2021, still under investigation.

2021 investigation of agency's tree-cutting at the heritage site

In 2021, Forsvarsbygg cut down trees in the forest.[8] On 2 June the county of Viken ordered that the cutting must stop; the mayor of Ullensaker filed a police report.[9] The Cabinet ordered a fact-finding commission regarding what had happened and how to prevent similar events at similar sites, according to the minister of defence.[10]

As of June 2021, the tree-cutting at the heritage site is still under investigation.[11]
