Da de tyske troppene trakk seg ut av Finnmark h\u00f8sten og vinteren 1944 – 1945, sto store minefelt igjen etter dem. Den f\u00f8rste norske styrken kom fra Skottland til S\u00f8r-Varanger 11.11.1944. I januar kom norske politisoldater fra Sverige med Bernt Balchens Dakota-fly (DC-3) til H\u00f8ybuktmoen. Mannskap fra Rikspolititroppene, Feltbataljon II, tok seg fram til Karasjok. De skulle rydde omr\u00e5det og veien for miner, men m\u00e5tte f\u00f8rst l\u00e6re \u00e5 uskadeliggj\u00f8re dem. Under undervisningen eksploderte en stridsvognmine. Til sammen 22 soldater mistet livet.<\/p>\n

De f\u00f8rste som tok seg av de skadde, var sykepleiere og soldater fra polititroppen i Skoganvarre. Etter en marsj p\u00e5 16 timer, kunne de gi skadde f\u00f8rstehjelp. Den lille, gamle kirka ble omgjort til operasjonssal, og de skadde ble f\u00f8rt dit.<\/p>\n

Kirurgen Carl Semb (1895 \u2013 1971), legen Hjalmar Wergeland (1909 \u2013 1997) og sykepleieren Ella Krogh (1921 – 2000) ble f\u00f8rt fra Stockholm via Kalax ved Lule\u00e5 med et Dakota-fly. De hoppet ut i fallskjerm og landet p\u00e5 elveisen. Ingen av dem hadde hoppet i fallskjerm tidligere. Legene og sykepleierne berget livet til flere av de som var stygt skadet. Med mindre fly som kunne lande i Karasjok, ble 7 skadde f\u00f8rt til sykehus i Sverige.<\/p>\n

Minnesteinen tar med navnene p\u00e5 de som hjalp til etter ulykken. Her er ogs\u00e5 lokale navn med, Anna N\u00e6ss og hennes datter Alfhild Berg.<\/p>\n

Monumentet med navn p\u00e5 alle de 22 omkomne st\u00e5r ved den gamle kirka. Den sto opprinnelig p\u00e5 kirkeg\u00e5rden, \u00f8st for kirka og veien. Der var de d\u00f8de begravd midlertidig. Alle ble etter krigen tatt opp og f\u00f8rt til sine hjemsteder, unntatt Kaare Olav Andersen. Det oppsto misforst\u00e5elser omkring identifikasjonen, og han ble begravd like innenfor porten til kirkeg\u00e5rden p\u00e5 Svenskebakken.<\/p>\n

The site where the mine exploded<\/h4>\n

22 soldiers lost their lives when a land mine exploded here<\/h2>\n

When the German troops pulled out of Finnmark in the autumn and winter of 1944 to 1945, they left large minefields behind them. The first Norwegian force came from Scotland and arrived in S\u00f8r-Varanger on 11 November 1944. In January, Norwegian police troops arrived from Sweden, landing at H\u00f8ybuktmoen on Bernt Balchen\u2019s Dakota (DC-3). The 2nd field battalion from the Norwegian police troops made their way to Karasjok. They were to clean the area and the road of mines, but first they had to learn how to disarm them. During one training session a tank mine exploded, killing 22 soldiers in total.<\/p>\n

The first people to attend to the injured were nurses and soldiers from the police troops in Skoganvarre. Only after completing a 16-hour march could they administer first aid to the injured. The little old church was turned into an operating theatre, and the injured were taken there.<\/p>\n

Surgeon Carl Semb (1895\u20131971), physician Hjalmar Wergeland (1909\u20131997) and nurse Ella Krogh (1921\u20132000) were flown from Stockholm via Kallax, Lule\u00e5 on a Dakota. They were dropped by parachute and landed on the river ice. None of them had used a parachute before. The doctors and nurses saved the lives of several of the badly injured. Seven of the injured were taken to hospital in Sweden using smaller aircraft that could land in Karasjok.<\/p>\n

The memorial stone carries the names of those who helped after the accident, including the names of locals Anna N\u00e6ss and daughter Alfhild Berg.<\/p>\n

The monument bearing the name of the 22 who died stands at the old church. It originally stood in the cemetery, east of the church and the road, that being the site where the dead had been temporarily buried. Following the war, all of their bodies were exhumed and taken to their home towns, with the exception of Kaare Olav Andersen\u2019s. There was a misunderstanding regarding identification, and he was buried just inside the gate of the cemetery on Svenskebakken.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
