Two places in Norway aroused my curiosity: Herdla…, a little village on the northernmost point of an island just off Bergen – the Nazis had built an airfield there, of which the runway and a few bunkers had apparently survived. The Norwegians go there in the summer, to swim and lie in the sun. There´s a bus to Herdla, and if you go there by car, you pay a toll of 100 kroner for the bridge just outside Bergen. The Nazis had filled in the land between the skerries; two old hangars stand, monumental, on the shore, old bunker constructions lie hidden in the hills of the island landscape, and the runway, which had been paved with concrete, has grass growing on it.
