Already in early summer 1944, people in East Finnmark began to move into the mines at Bjørnvatn. The order of the Nazis was ready: the entire country was destroyed and all people forced southward. But it was not so. By October, the mountain was populated by two to three thousand people, women, children & elderly for the most part. Inside they had created their own little community, independent of the German superpower outside. But soon a reputation begins to spread, that the mountain is going to burst.
