Overview:

Strategically, it was important to protect the iron ore and nickel mines on the northern tundra area where German and Finnish forces had advanced on the Soviet port of Murmansk in 1941 but stopped 50 miles short at the Litsa River and since then the position has remained relatively static. The Germans began to withdraw on two axes after a massive Soviet offensive opened on 7 October. One of these axes moved northwest towards the small Norwegian port town of Kirkenes, along the Finnish-Norwegian border. After some pursuit involving German delaying actions in the harsh terrain devoid of cover, the Soviets had finally pushed the Germans back to the town.
Attacker: Russian (10th Guards Rifle Division and 378th Guards Heavy Self Propelled Artillery Regiment)
Defender: German (Gebirgs-Division 6)
