		The fiasco of the British campaign - with its missed opportunities and squandered victories - might reasonably be said to be the responsibility of Winston Churchill, the British First Lord of the Admiralty.

		Norway and World War II Norwegians were surprised and unprepared when Nazi Germany, with its superior military might, attacked Norway on 9 April 1940.
		The civilian and military resistance in Norway was met with an escalation of the Nazi machinery of oppression.
		On the whole, however, Norway was one of the occupied countries which suffered the least during the war.

		For the Allies, in particular the French, it was based on a desire to avoid repeating the trench warfare of World War I along the Franco-German border.
		Such deployments never occurred though as Norway and Sweden, weary after seeing the lack of Western support for Poland, did not want to risk their neutrality and be seen to be involved in the war by allowing foreign troop movement through their borders.
		For the Allies, it was seen as a sign of Norwegian inability to prevent German misuse of the supposed neutral area for military purposes, and they nearly undertook a plan, proposed shortly after the fall of Poland by First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill, to mine the the area.

		The British campaign was coincidentally commenced simultaneously with Nazi Germany's invasion of Denmark and Norway in Operation Weserübung of April 6.
		In central Norway, the campaign was centered on Åndalsnes and Namsos.
		But, in fact, the 'Norway Debate' in the British House of Commons, which saw large numbers of Conservative Party MPs refuse to back the Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain, led directly to Chamberlain's resignation and Churchill's appointment as Prime Minister on the afternoon of 10 May.

		The Allies deception campaign to protect the Normandy landings was to convince the Germans that what seemed to be logical cite of the landings was indeed where the Allies would strike.
		Allied planners carefully executed missions primarily on Pas de Calais defenses rather than Normandy to help confirm the Pas de Calais as the invasion site.
		The Allies also tried to convince the Germans that Greece and Norway were also targets.

	The Invasion of Norway April 9 - May 9, 1940 - World War II Multimedia Database
		Norway was an important source of resources for Germany, and an operational base for U-boats throughout the war.
		Norwegian resistance cells were difficult for the Germans to track in the snowy forests, and gave important intelligence to the Allies.
		The Allies’ efforts to force Hitler into thinking that an invasion of Norway was imminent kept large forces tied down in Norway, preventing them from assisting their country as the Red Army and the British and the Americans invaded Germany from the East and West.

	GI -- World War II Commemoration
		By treaty Finland was in the Soviet sphere of influence, but in occupying Norway Germany had secured an access route to the Finnish nickel-mining region near Petsamo (now Pechenga) on the Arctic coast, and in July 1940 the German firm I. Farbenindustrie signed a contract for the entire output of the Finnish mines.
		In their opinion the main force had to be directed without any diversions toward the primary objective, Moscow, for it was there that the decisive battle would be fought after the Russians had been forced to concentrate all of the forces they could assemble to defend the capital and hub of the country's communications systems.
		Hitler instructed the German Army of Norway to be prepared to occupy the Petsamo region and to conduct an offensive from Finland to cut the Murmansk (Kirov) Railroad.

	Decision To Invade Norway and Denmark
		The British and Allied side of the Norwegian operation is presented in T. Derry, The Campaign in Norway (London: H. Stationery Office, 1952) and in J. Butler, Grand Strategy, Volume II (London: H. Stationery Office, 1957), Chapters V and VI.
		Although it was widely assumed after the failure of Allied counter-operations in Norway that the Germans had laid their plans well in advance, probably even before the outbreak of war, such was not the case.
		Although Hitler insisted to the very last that Norway was the strategic key to Europe, the expected Allied invasion never came; and on 8 May 1945 the German Army in Norway surrendered without having fired a shot in the decisive battles of the war.

	The invasion of Norway during WW2
		The plan of Gamelin foresaw a landing of allied forces in the north of Finland and the “precautionary” occupation of harbors and airports of western Norway.
		It was a fatal delay because, thanks to it, the Germans succeeded in preceding the Allies in Norway of narrow measure.
		Examining the campaign, an amazing revelation is that related to the smallness of the German forces that conquered the capital city and of the principal harbors of Norway with the initial hit of hand.

	HyperWar: The Campaign in Norway [Chapter XV]
		In North Norway General Auchinleck requested a scale of reinforcement which was denied him, although he put the general proposition that 'In every campaign there is a certain minimum of force which must be provided in fairness to the responsible commander and to the troops under him'.
		As for the general scale of our operations in Norway, even before the main German assault in the west began, the lesson is of course the unpalatable one that our policies needed to be, but were not, strictly commensurate with the weakness of our armed forces and the gradualness of their expansion.
		The employment of troops in Norway was, indeed, defended at the time on the uncertain ground that it caused a disproportionate diversion of German troops from the western front; but, although General Gamelin favoured such distractions, the western front was the main consideration throughout.

	Amazon.com: Norway 1940 (World War II): Books: Francois Kersaudy
		This is an excellent overview of the British, French, German and Norwegian war campaigns in Norway in the spring of 1940.
		This was a campaign in which the British resolutely refused to trust or listen to the Norwegians.
		At the top of the list of narratives involving this theatre lies Kersaudy's book, a marvelous overview of the Norway campaign from conception to conclusion, with emphasis placed on the staggering of the allies who are shown to have acted in alarming incompetence throughout the campaign.

	The Invasion of Norway
		King Haakon (who had been with the Allies in the Andalsnes area until those units were evacuated, departing nearby Molde in the cruiser GLASGOW April 29th, arriving at Tromso to set up a new capital May 1st) left the country for England on British cruiser DEVONSHIRE June 7th.
		The Allied forces in the Gudbrundsdal were still holding on south of Dombas when ordered to evacuate on April 27th, but the possession of the railway greatly facilitated their withdrawal.
		His influence in Norway was generally much less than he had advertised to the Germans before the invasion, and, except for the actions of Col. Sundlo at Narvik, his relatively small group of supporters contributed little to the German military effort.

		The Norway episode was, it is true, in a sense a sideshow; the forces engaged, except on the naval side, were comparatively small and the losses light.
		But it was the first campaign of the war in which all three Services were involved and it revealed before the eyes of the world how lamentably deficient were our military preparations and organisation compared with our political commitments and our urgent needs.
		The lessons of the Norway campaign were learnt and applied, with triumphant effect, before the end of the war.

	CTV.ca \| PM mistakenly recalls D-Day invasion of Norway
		Addressing troops at CFB Gagetown outside Fredericton, N.B., Martin was recalling Canada's contribution to the 1944 liberation of Europe.
		"Sixty years ago, Canadians were working alongside their British and American allies planning for the invasion of Norway and the liberation of Europe," Martin said without batting an eye.
		In fact, the slip-up seemed to cause little stir throughout the room, even though it is a famous fact of history that Normandy, not Norway, was the scene of the famous landings.

		In addition, the Allied campaign in Norway ended in disaster.
		With a firm schedule for the Allied invasion of France firmly in place in 1943, the War Cabinet turned its attention to the post-war settlement of Europe, an Allied occupation strategy for Germany and Austria, and the post-war rehabilitation of Britain.
		As the war drew to a close, there began to appear increasing signs of strain between the two major parties in the British Coalition Government, which ultimately affected the War Cabinet's ability to operate effectively.
