Seaport in Nordland county, N Norway, on Ofot
Fjord, exporting iron ore from Swedish mines;
population (1980) 19,500. To secure this ore
supply Germany seized Narvik in Apr 1940.
British, French, Polish, and Norwegian forces
recaptured the port but had to abandon it on
10 Jun to cope with the worsening Allied
situation elsewhere in Europe.
