thumb|Kaprolat and Hasselmann were located by the large lakes west of the text "White Sea".
Kaprolat, together with the nearby position "Hasselmann", were German names for positions, each on its own hill, in East Karelia on the Russian side of the border during World War II. The positions were located west of the small Karelian town of Louhi. In a Soviet offensive in June 1944, around 120 Norwegian fighters were killed and 23 died in Soviet captivity. This loss, a total of around 143, is the largest loss that has affected a Norwegian combat unit ever.
