HITLER'S PRE-EMPTIVE WAR:
THE BATTLE FOR NORWAY,
1940
by Henrik O. Lunde
After Hitler conquered Poland the British began to exert control
of the coastline of neutral Norway, an action that threatened to
cut off Germany’s iron-ore conduit to Sweden.
The Germans quickly responded with a dizzying series of assaults.
Airlifted infantry, mountain troops and paratroopers seized
Norwegian strong points, forestalling larger Allied units. The
German navy also set sail ensuring that key harbours could be held.
The air, airborne, naval, amphibious, infantry, armoured and
commando aspects of this brief but violent campaign are covered in
meticulous detail.
