This railway was never completed. {\an5}Only about 30 to 40km of
the line was ever constructed. {\an5}It didn't ever see out the Second
World War. The polar line may have been
a failure but it arguably played
an important role in the outcome of the war. {\an5}Hitler was so obsessed with Norway
that he kept {\an5}an extraordinary large number of
troops, whole divisions, there, throughout the war, who were uselessly...occupied
and just sitting there when they were desperately needed,
for example, on the Eastern Front. It became an absolute idee fixe
for Hitler
