In total 173 Norwegians, 6 British and 15 Soviet citizens were executed in Trandumskogen. Many had been sentenced to death by the German occupation forces, but there was also a great number who were subject to arbitrary executions. Most were resistance fighters, while the Russians were prisoners in German prison camps who had tried to escape. Five of the Britons had been arrested for planning to blow up the heavy water plant at Vemork, and the sixth Briton was involved in a sabotage attempt on the battleship Tirpitz. After the Second World War, Norwegian citizens sentenced for treason, and leading members of the Norwegian national socialist party Nasjonal Samling were forced to open the graves and exhume the bodies of the executed prisoners. The medical identification of the corps was led by professor in forensic medicine Georg Waaler, assisted by dentist Ferdinand Strøm.
