Weerarkii Jarmalka ee Narvik 9kii Abriil 1940, oo ay qaadeen ciidamada qeybta 3aad ee Buuraha oo uu hoggaaminayay "Generaloberst" Eduard Dietl, Løken wuxuu mas'uul ka ahaa fulinta abaabulka Noorwiijiga ee Troms. Hawshii ugu horeysay ee uu Løken qabtay, marka lagu daro abaabulka, waxay ahayd inuu adeegsado ciidamada markii hore la heli karo si uu u joojiyo ciidamada Jarmalka ee ku sugan Narvik inay u gudbaan Troms. Xakamaynta saldhigga dhexe ee ciidanka ee Setermoen waxay muhiim u ahayd abaabulka Noorwiijiga. Ciidamada hoos yimaada taliska tooska ah ee Løken markii ay Jarmalku soo galeen waxay ahaayeen guuto lug ah, guuto gaashaaman oo buuraha ah iyo ciidamo taageero kala duwan ah. Fiidnimadii 8-dii Abriil, Kornayl Løken waxaa lagu amray inuu u diro guurtidiisa lugta ah iyo baytariga gaashaaman ee gawaarida ku shaqeeya Narvik si ay u difaacaan magaalada, laakiin wareejinta ciidamada waxaa ka hortagay soo degitaanka Jarmalka. Isagoo ilaalinaya difaac ku dhawaad ciidankiisa oo dhan inta lagu gudajiray marxaladda abaabulka, Løken wuxuu khilaaf la galay hoggaanka sare ee Qaybta 6-aad, oo doonayay weerar deg deg ah oo ka dhan ah Jarmalka sida ugu dhakhsaha badan. Inkastoo uusan weerar deg deg ah ku qaadin, Løken wuxuu ciidamada u dhaqaaqay inuu xannibo jagooyinka koonfurta ka sii fog intii la qorsheeyay, maadaama uu u arkay inay muhiim tahay in la joojiyo horumarka Jarmalka ee aagga Gratangen. Kornayl Løken qaabkiisa taxaddar badan ee dagaalka wuxuu u horseeday inuu xumaado xiriirka uu la leeyahay taliyaha qeybta weerarka badan, Carl Gustav Fleischer. 19-kii Abriil, Løken wuxuu sheegay in niyadda ciidamada Jarmalka ee iska soo horjeeda ay u muuqatay inay daciif tahay, iyo in Jarmalka badankood ay u muuqdeen inay "ka hooseeyaan celceliska" barafka.
