Nordstern (en: "North Star"), sometimes referred to as Neu Drontheim (en: "New Trondheim"), was the Nazi plan for the creation of a new German metropolis in German-occupied Norway during World War II. It was planned to have a population of around 250,000–300,000 inhabitants.The building site of the city was located 15–20 km (9.3–12.4 mi) southwest of the Norwegian city of Trondheim. Because of the significant strategic importance of Trondheim Fjord to the German military, it was to be constructed in conjunction with a major navy and military base that would give Germany unprecedented maritime control over the North Atlantic area, a move strongly supported by Großadmirals Erich Raeder and Karl Dönitz.German leader Adolf Hitler envisioned the city as "a German Singapore", and it became one of his favorite architectural projects. During the war itself, the port city was already turned into a major base for German U-boat submarines, Dora I.

Trondheim Airport, Øysand (Norwegian: Trondheim flyplass, Øysand) was a military air base situated at Øysand in Melhus, Norway. Established by Luftwaffe in 1940, remained in use throughout the Second World War, until 1945. The airfield consisted of a runway made of wooden frames filled with sand 1,800 by 60 meters (5,910 by 200 ft). The airport was little used and only a squadron of meteorological observation aircraft where stationed there. Its main role thus remained as a backup of the larger air stations of Ørland and Værnes. Øysand was proposed as the site to build the German exclave Nordstern, but the plans never materialized.
