1. South-Western Norway: Beaches Around Stavanger
© Terri M. 2008Countless top-rated Norwegian beaches are in and around the city of Stavanger in the southern parts of Norway. This is the area where you will find white sandy beaches in Norway: Solastrand, Vigdel, Hellestø Beach, Orrestranda Beach, Vaulen and Godalen (most within a 15-40 minute drive from Stavanger).
As I recall Stavabger had an very important airport the Germans seized.
Stavanger Airport, Sola is Norway's second oldest airport, opened by King Haakon VII 29 May 1937. The airport was the second to have a concrete runway in Europe. The airport was attacked and captured by German fallschirmjägers from 1st battalion of the 1st Regiment, 7th Flieger Division supported by Luftwaffe aircraft on 9 April 1940. The attack was over in an hour, and the airport remained in German hands for the duration of World War II. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stavanger_Airport,_Sola |
