Monuments to Russian Soldiers and Prisoners of War

Nord-Trøndelag

• Prison camp Falstad near Levanger: about 100 Russians were executed in Falstadskogen forest nearby (remains moved after the war to Lademoen kirkegård in Trondheim, see below).
  • Russere feiret 9. mai - article in Trønderavisa about our visit to Falstad Museum (May 10, 2004).
  • Tilgi, men aldri glemme! (PDF) - article in Levanger-Avisa written after our visit to Falstad Museum (May 15, 2004).

Sør-Trøndelag

• Trondheim: Lademoen kirkegård | Rotvoll
  Unfortunately the rest of the monuments are quite far from Trondheim:
• Hemne commune: Vinje kirkegård
• Midtre Gauldal commune: Støren kirke
• Oppdal commune: Oppdal: page 1, page 2
• Orkdal commune: Orkanger
• Ørland commune: map; Austrått fort | Hovde; Ørland kirkegård | Storfosna

We used pages from the book 50 år: 8.mai 1945 - 8.mai 1995. Minnesmerkene fra krigen i Sør-Trøndelag, prepared by students in Lundamo ungdomsskole (Junior School of Lundamo) in 1995. The book can be loaned from Trondheim public library.
