Ku sii qor faqradan - Degmada Kiruna waxay xuduud la leedahay dalalka Norwey iyo Finland, Kiruna waxay u dhowdahay labada dal. Tani waxay keentay in askar badan la geeyo aagga markasta oo abaabul la codsado; marka hore Sebtember 1939 ka dib duulaankii Jarmalka ee Poland, ka dibna Nofeembar 1939 ka dib duulaankii Ruushka ee Finland

Bishii Maarso 1940, Churchill wuxuu codsaday ogolaansho in askar laga soo qaado Narvik ee Norway ilaa Finland iyada oo loo sii marayo Kiruna iyo Haparanda "Howlgalka Catherine". Cabsi laga qabo in joogitaanka askarta Ingiriiska ee u dhow macdanta macdanta ee Kiruna ay kicin karto weerar Jarmal ah oo ka dhan ah Iswiidhan, codsiga waa la diiday.
