It remains eternal mystery to me how the norwegians could be taken so off guard. Where was the preceding intelligence data and mobilisation? Where was the determination? Geography should have made the country inpenetrable, more or less like Switzerland. Germans occupied the country using some 120000 soldiers and very wounerable sea and air approaches. In comparison, Sovjets tried to take Finland with some 700000-800000 men via straight flat land route and were still repelled. Obviously Norway had slept past the days in 30`ies, when it should have prepared to defend itself. (Still love the courage of the norwegian resistance movements, nro24, Max Manus, Pelle Group etc. )

I wish this documentary was available with English subtitles. The invasion of Norway and the Norwegian campaign is rarely discussed outside Norway and mostly concentrates on the resistance effort. The fact Britain and France sent troops and even lost the aircraft carrier HMS Glorious is little known.

Någon som vet om det går att köpa denna dokumentär på dvd?

Veteraner, sliter alltid med slikt. Jeg savner «reservepappa», Atle Thonstad… 😢

No subtitles,?
