Orphaned references in Sørøya[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Sørøya's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Operation Open Door[edit]

What were the 525 civilians doing in this remote part of Norway? Drutt (talk) 20:48, 16 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I believe they lived there.Orcaborealis (talk) 06:33, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What were they fleeing from, the Germans? Drutt (talk) 17:33, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Germans were burning down every village and house in Finnmark as a part of their Scorched earth tactic to leave nothing to the Red Army (which never came to Sørøya). And this was in winter. Orcaborealis (talk) 21:59, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I see, that would make sense. Wikipedia should probably mention this somewhere. Drutt (talk) 21:30, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
