German Perspective:
Day Two:
The Fighting yesterday had turned into a regular disaster and as with the constant snowfall and His units bogged down 2 km from Tynset it did not look like things were about to improve. All rear units if you could speak of such had been order to conserve ammunitions and only fire on good targets. Weather reports indicated that the clouds might clear the following day and allow the Luftwaffe to come to their aid.
Some sort of support was desperately needed. His troops had made good progress in locating the enemy miniefields and the probes returning from Folldal indicated that that may well be the weakest point of the Norwegian line. During the comming night his troops would shift pressure from Tynset towards Folldal and his own 3. Gebirgsdivision would lead the assault followed by the remains of 1. and 4. division. 2. Division would hold the rear and fight on retreat.
Losses had been huge. Day and night the Norweigians continued shooting at our positions and by nighfall the German losses had reached a staggering 7200 killed, wounded or captured.
Day Three:
Early in the morning light artillery and morters detatchments of the 3. and 4. division opened fire on the Norvegian troops to the south of Folldal. Mean while Stukas kept up the pressure on the Tynset line. As the first dust cleared the 3. division began its attack. The terrain had given good cover to the Norvegians and the defense was still relatively intact. They put up a good fight and caused further losses to the German troops bu by noon they managed to capture the last norwegian position.
Now within range of Norwegian artillery Dietl ordered a full assult on the town it had to be taken at all cost as another day would decimate his troops to a point were another breakout attempt would no longer be possible.
Luftwaffe support had now shifted most of their planes to this part of the front as well and bombs were raining down on Folldal. Dietl used the few remaining infantry support tanks in his possesion to break the strongest Norwegian positions and allow the infantry to follow through.
The attack on Folldal lasted eight hours before the Gemans finialy broke the Norwegian lines.
When the I. Gebirgskorps began their retreat south from Folldal the casualties numbered more then 11000 men and this had risen to nearly 15600 by the time the Norwegian defenders gave up persuit.
This had indeed been the worst days of the German Wehrmacht since the outbreak of war.
