The village was partially destroyed in the land fighting first and the later by naval gunfire, with the sinking of the Hurtigruten ship {{SS|Nordnorge|1923|6}} and the coaster {{SS|Ranheim|1913|2}}, in the days following 10 May 1940. The fighting occurred when Hemnesberget became the objective of a German operation to bypass Allied strong points during the Norwegian Campaign, codenamed Wildente.
