Racing in broad daylight down a Norwegian fjord, sixty miles behind the German lines at North Cape, four destroyers from the British home fleet have rescued 525 Norwegians from the Germans. For three months, these Norwegians, mostly women and children, had been hiding from the German slave patrols in caves on the snow covered mountains of Soroy Island. A small Norwegian military mission had landed earlier, warned them to stand by, and they were ready when the destroyers, led by Captain J.H. Allison, in H.M.S. Zambesi, with all guns manned, swept down Alten Galten fjord. In three hours the ships with the rescued Norwegians were steaming back a full speed. Food and clothing were issued and 525 Norwegians landed at a British port. They had terrible stories to tell of their treatment by the German who had burnt to the ground every house on the Island.
