| 释义 |
The North Sea Traffic ({{Norwegian|Englandsfarten}}) is the common name in Norway for the boats going between occupied Norway and Scotland and England during the Second World War. People that went with the boats were usually called "englandsfarere" (people traveling to England). The Shetland bus played a vital part of the voyages to and from Norway but other small boats made the crossing to escape the German occupation. The voyages started early spring 1940 and around 3,293 persons managed to make their way to England and Scotland during the war and around 300 boats of various sizes, even some rowing boats participated. By decree by the German Reichskommisar Josef Terboven, it was punishable by death after 26 September 1941 to leave occupied Norway without authorisation; 51 Norwegians were eventually executed. Another 137 Norwegians died in the North Sea during passage to England or Scotland. Literature
