Verdalsora April 21st, 1940 As the German Army advance its way along the Norwegian coast, the men of the German 130th Regiment started its assault on the town of Verdalsora. The Germans were ordered to capture the mian bridge and clear the road ahead. Small groups of Norwegian Dragoons however, held positions to block the Germans. Depsite poor ground conditions and bad weather, the men of the 130th eventually forced their way into the town. But not with a great loss of time and men.
