Title
Shetland Bus' Tour
Description
With Norway under German-occupation during the Second World War, Shetland became the base for an operation using Norwegian fishing boats and crew to shuttle across the North Sea-supplying the Norwegian underground and returning with refugees. Established initially at Lunna, the 'Shetland Bus' operation moved to Scalloway in 1942.
