from source "The Bitter Years" by Richard Petrow...
it seems an informent., a Televaag woman reported in March to a member of quisling's Nasjonal Samling Party of the arrival and departure of of strangers of undercover agents general knowledge to inhabitants.
At the same time another Telvaag resident, himself pro-British, was over heard bragging to friends of had seen, weapons, ammunition, radio sets in a local farmhouse of a local merchant who was the Milorg leader of the area....
Troops of the SD swooped on the farmhouse on the morning of April 26, surprising the 2 agents in the barn loft. With their retreat cut off, the SOE agents opened fire and killed 2 German officers before they themselves where captured. Both were wounded. One died immediately, the other taken away for interrogation.
When the fruits of the interrogation were sent to the Reichskommisar Terboven, he ordered widespread reprisals against Telvaag as an example to the rest of the country.
It continues more on burning 300 houses to the ground, killing of cattle and sinking local fishing vessels...76 men where deported to Germany to concentration camps, claiming most perished before the end of the war, while the rest 260 women, children and elderly where then arrested and interned in Norway..when all was said and done Telavaag was wiped from the map...more villages where raided and assault resulting from information obtained from the local Milorg leaders and the SOE agent, but these I will not add unless requested.
as for your request Marcus as to what troops did this all that is stated is German troops did the torching of the town and rounding up civilians...German Police and Gestapo assisted by Norweigan Quislingite Police officers did further seizing resistance leaders from interrogations and information learned from the SOE and Milborg leader and torture to extract information, but no list of specific Troops or units etc. involved
