  • In April of 1940, German forces launched the lesser-known operation in the north to invade Norway, to save their iron ore supply, among other reasons. Watch my animated history video to learn about why Germany invaded Denmark and Norway, how they did it, and why the way in which they did it was so significant, and also the effect the campaign had on World War II for both the Germans and the Allies.

    Nice, but could probably feature more of the chase of the royal family. Oscarsborg made Germany lose 2000 soldiers on the battleship Blücher which were set to capture the King to sign a treaty similar to Denmark’s. Norwegian forces didnt manage to stop the german push towards Trondheim, but the Battle at Midtskogen gave the royal family more time to flee to Britain. You did cover the strategic part though and would be a quarter longer if u included this and Quisling’s coup etc.

    • @chalkboardhistory
      @chalkboardhistory  3 роки тому +9

      Thanks! I definitely agree that I could have included more, but unfortunately, with the way UA-cam works, I can't make videos too long or they won't perform well. The chase of the royal family was quite interesting, I believe you're referring to the movie "The King's Choice".
      It's amazing to think that one fortress could make such a huge impact on the Second World War. The delaying action on Oscarsborg would ultimately save the Norwegians from falling victim to the same fate as the Danish.

    Yes. Narvik and the iron ore was of course very important for the germans to get. But Norway was important for Germany to control/occupied in so many ways, strategic, fish supplies, salpetre, etc. Germany dont want Norway to be a "neutral allied" just like i WW1. But if Germany only occupied Norway they would get full of all norwegian resourses who was very important for Germany get in WW2.

    Im sorry but armistice? I cant ever remember hearing about a armistice between Norway and Germany in 1940. The Norwegian government fled, along with the Royal family, to Great Britain and continued the war from there. If there armistice was between Quisling and Germany (Which doesnt make sense because he was a collaborator) then he held no legitemate power in Norway

    • @chalkboardhistory
      @chalkboardhistory  3 роки тому +1

      The Norwegian Command signed an Armistice which ended the fighting, after the British and French left, and the Germans re-occupied Narvik. You're right that I shouldn't have vaguely said "The Norwegians signed an armistice" in reference to the Norwegian forces. I think that's what caused the confusion between the Norwegian Command and the government, which did not officially surrender.

      @su si Not at all, they were actually considering going to war with the Ussr to help out Finland, and there's plenty of situations were Hitler considered invading Sweden. Sweden actually had a strong military after 1943, so if Germany invaded Sweden it would be basically another Greece vs Italy, and after ww2 they had one of the best airforces in the world. So I would consider Sweden interesting during ww2.
