I am American however I am drawn to the history of Norway during WW2 I am part Norwegian on my mother's side my Grandfather was 💯 percent Norwegian. The Norwegians are true fighters to this day. From Nebraska USA God bless Norway.
Keep your so-called blessings from an imaginary celestial dictator to yourself, Yankee. We grew out of such superstitions a long time ago here.
Cincerely,

You'd be interested to know the first american millitary casualty was in Norway.
Iirc, a US officer from the American embasy in Finland or Sweden had travelled into Norway to find and aid the American embassy staff there, who were evacuating to Sweden, but were delayed with no word. He travelled with an American flag draped on his car, (still neutral), but had loaded it onto a traincar where it wasn't visible when the Luftwaffe struck the railstation. He and other civillians rushed for the safety of a tunnel when a bomb struck nearby, killing him. He travelled with another man, who I believe managed to find the Americans in the end.
if Norway had mobilised BEFORE Germans invaded , it could have been another "Finland" .. the Allies were coming , but the Germans were already established and most importantly held airstrips which decided conflict. Most British and French troops were in France awaiting German offensive... along with almost all their air forces.
Yeah it could have been and we also had tons of forts we could have manned if all those were manned and men mobilized it’s even said we could have mobilized 100k+ if all those were mobilized and if Oslo didn’t fall in 1 day a really good battle could have been shown.
Could have and maybe should have really get us no wiser, however looking at what Norway managed to actually do, analyze the total impact this had on the German forces and the War (in the west).
Norway held out longer than any other country but the sovjet union. France fell in less than 20 days, most of Europe was taken in less than 60 days, Norway held out for 62 Days, fighting most of that alone with at best "soldiers" that only what way to point the rifle if that.
Further more the Attackled to german Navy suffering what would become a catastophic loss of ship in Narvik, in fact they lost so many medium and light ships that they could never ever challenge the royal Navy or actually conduct any effective navy opearions at all following those losses, this in large contriubuted to allied victory as well as several other factors.
Much becuse of Norway fighting so fiercely and the close family ties between the norwegian royal house and britain, Norway (though incuding the merchant fleet the worlds largest at the time) became a very important player among the Allies and had far more power than the size of the tiny nation would make us think.
With the Successful occupation of Norway, Germany ensured Allied victory in Europe, this becuse of Norway in 1944 had both Occupation Forces and close to 300 000 german army forces fighting on the loosing eastern front, these units, 300 000 roughly could have been deplyed to france in june 44, but again Norway decided to troll some germans and we made sure the 300 000 had more than enoufh to do in Norway, fighting a guerilla war in some regions, this prevented these 300 000 to be placed in Normandy.
etc etc.
If we analyze all countries affected by the war and playing a part in the war, they all made a difference on both sides of the conflict, no nation was spared and none were unique
well what your saying here is completely false because neutrality norway our country was neutral the entire time then the brits decides to go against our neutrality and mine lay our coasts destroying iron ships then the nazis are mad because their iron is gone and atack us after the war the town i live was burnt to a crisp everything up here in finnmark was burnt to a crisp by the germans all couldve been pervented if it wasnt for the allies
also our neutrality forbidds mobilization
If we got the stuff we orded before the war then it would hell for the germans

Feel bad for the old man who has cleary lost some of his memory.
I’ve been to lundehøgda, I’ve walked the battle and talk to veterans from the battle and historians, and it was not the bloodbath described. It was a firefight.
I remeber a historian mention this series and the comments from the veteran. He said he had talked to him a couple of years before the series when he was clearer in his mind and he had told more correct story.
The germans threw themselves on the ground to avoid being shot, to some it must have felt like they hit every time.

Hva er navnet på serien
Det står i både tittelen og beskrivelsen til videoen.
interesting the Norwegians used the French word for Machine gun
Yep, quite a bit of French military vocabulary made its way into the Norwegian language.
@@AshtonmartinVids I knew it had done so in the Swedish military hadn't heard it did so in Norwegian as well lol an ironic mix of German as well for both
Were they really wearing dark green dress in the snow ?
Yes, on a general basis both armies during this campaign had to improvise when it came to winter camoflage.
Respekt til di som har falt for Norden
Even if the Norwegian army fully mobilized it wouldn't of mattered much. Even at full strength Norway only had about 50-55k troops and the British contributed around 38k troops, they had no armour and had little to no means of dealing with German tanks, and their airforce was small, obsolete and easy prey for the Luftwaffe. Yeah you had the battles of Narvik which the naval portion of those battles, the Royal Navy won unsurprisingly, on land the allied expeditionary force eventually outnumbered the Norwegian forces they were supporting, it was made up of troops from several other countries besides British and Norwegian troops, they were also made up of French, and Polish forces as well. The early battles were successful by the allies at first but eventually the Germans regrouped and with overwhelming air superiority drove the allies back into the sea essentially. Now aside from Narvik there were other instances of the Norwegians putting up brave resistance the Battle of the Drøbak Sound in which the German heavy cruiser Blücher was sunk by a combination of two 28 cm MRK L/35 Krupp costal defense guns from the Oscarsborg fortress and land based torpedo batteries.
This caused setbacks for the Germans as the Blücher was carrying most of the troops and Gestapo personnel intended for the occupation of Oslo it also allowed King Haakon VII and most of the government to evacuate the Norwegian capital. There were several other secondary costal defense batteries in the fjord (the Kopås and Husvik batteries).
You had the battle of the Hegra Fortress in which 250 Norwegian volunteers held out against two German Infintry battalions and an artillery unit for 25 days.
