The Televåg Tragedy
26 April 1942 two German officers were shot dead by Norwegian agents in Telavåg. As revenge the Germans exposed the locals to serious hardships. All grown men were deported to concentration camps in Germany, whereas women and children were kept in internment in Framnes in Hardanger. The Germans then blew up all houses and other buildings to wipe out the whole village.
