Basis Nord ("Base North") was a secret naval base of Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine in Zapadnaya Litsa, west of Murmansk provided by the Soviet Union. The base was part of a partnership that developed between Germany and the Soviet Union following German-Soviet Non-Aggression treaty of 1939, along with a broad economic agreement of 1940.
In 1939, the Soviet Union agreed to supply the base location to Germany for the purpose of supporting U-boats and commerce raiding.[1] Germany sent supply ships that were anchored in the bay, but the base was never used by Kriegsmarine fighting vessels.[2] Germany's April 1940 invasion of Norway thereafter rendered the base unnecessary.[3]
In 2008, Basis Nord featured in a prominent BBC–PBS investigative history series, World War II Behind Closed Doors: Stalin, the Nazis and the West, and a book of the same name by Laurence Rees in 2009.[4]
