Dovrefjell, Norway

Into The White — Norway

Scene

A German and British aircrew — both shot down in the Norwegian mountains in 1940 — are forced to share a remote hunting cabin to survive the Arctic winter, enemies becoming reluctant allies.

History

The film is inspired by real events from January 1940 when Luftwaffe and RAF crews crashed in the Norwegian mountains during the early Norwegian campaign. Survival in the extreme Dovrefjell winter required cooperation between men whose nations were at war. The Norwegian campaign of April-June 1940 cost both sides heavily in mountain and fjord fighting.
