The plane crash<\/h2>\n

On the night between 6 and 7 April 1945, a final attempt was made to send reinforcements to Gjevsj\u00f8en mountain farm. The plane was to carry extra personnel and equipment for the Norwegian and American soldiers who lived on Gjevsj\u00f8en. These were soldiers who took part in the acts of sabotage against German transport around Tr\u00f8ndelag, including the sabotage of J\u00f8rstadbrua (Operasjon Rype). The weather was bad on the night of April 7, 1945. Those who were to receive the planes heard an explosion early in the morning, which could indicate an accident.<\/p>\n

It was Bengt J\u00e5ma who found the wreckage when he was on his way to Bj\u00f6rkede. He looked over to Plukkutj\u00f8nnfjellet when he was at Vivassfiskl\u00f8ysa, and noticed something that sparkled like large rocks over there. J\u00e5ma found four dead and plane remains, and quickly went down to Gjevsj\u00f8en to report the accident.<\/p>\n

The next day, Major William E. Colby (later head of the CIA) and several others went up the mountain to collect the dead. Langeland announced from April 25 that:<\/p>\n

A total of 12 buried near the plane. Memorial ceremony held. Photos taken. Everyone kills instantly. The plane went west in a circle to drop when it hit Plukkutj\u00f8nnfjellet. It slid down the slope and was completely blown to pieces “.<\/p>\n

The plane that crashed came from the 492nd Bombe Group, codenamed “Carpetbagger”, which was based in Harrington, England.<\/p>\n

It was Herbert Helgesen who took the initiative to make the memorial on the mountain. The memorial shows the names of the deceased, and was unveiled in 1949. Several memorial ceremonies have been held for the support in recent years.<\/p>\n
