Due to the allied landing at Åndalsnes, and the immediate danger of them to join retreating Norwegian forces, Hitler ordered the railway junction at Dombås to be occupied by paratroopers. Fifteen Ju 52's took off from Fornebu at 17:00. The weather was very bad. Only five of the planes managed to return to Fornebu, two landed at Vaernes. The rest were shot down, or crash landed.
