Over 2000 prisoners were held there.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Tromsdalen fangeleir (Krøkebærsletta)|url=https://krigsmuseet.no/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/elevheftepdf_tromsdalenfangeleir.pdf|access-date=April 27, 2023}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|last=Hatlehol|first=Gunnar D.|title=Tromsdalen fangeleir|date=2023-01-26|url=https://snl.no/Tromsdalen_fangeleir|work=Store norske leksikon|language=no|access-date=2023-04-27}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Krøkebærsletta/Tromsdalen fangeleir|url=http://www.aktive-fredsreiser.no/biblioteket/1940-45/kz-leirene/krokebaersletta.htm|access-date=2023-04-27|website=www.aktive-fredsreiser.no}}</ref> The camp had five prisoner [[barracks]], three personnel barracks, a toilet/wash barrack, a kitchen, and a tool shed. Prisoners were forced to work and were punished for any mistakes. Some prisoners were treated very badly, especially those who were part of the resistance against the Nazis. Women were also held at the camp and were given potatoes to peel all day. The Nazis executed 26 [[Yugoslavia|Yugoslavian]] prisoners shortly after they arrived at the camp, and eight prisoners were executed in retaliation for a partisan action that killed 22 Germans. Today, the site of the camp is occupied by Tromstun School, and a [[memorial]] marker has been placed there to remember the innocent people who was killed there.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Del|first=Publisert: 18 5 2017 Sist endret: 9 10 2018 Sist endret: 9 10 2018|title=Frigjøring og gjenreisning i Troms og Finnmark|url=https://www.arkivverket.no/utforsk-arkivene/andre-verdenskrig/fredstid/frigjoring-og-gjenreisning-i-troms-og-finnmark|access-date=2023-04-27|website=Arkivverket|language=no}}</ref> == References == {{reflist}} [[Category:Nazi
