Denmark and Norway 1940

Hitler’s boldest operation
A compact history of the German invasion of Denmark and Norway, and how the subsequent developments resulted in Winston Churchill's premiership.

A compact history of the German invasion of Denmark and Norway, and how the subsequent developments resulted in Winston Churchill's premiership.

On 9 April 1940, German forces invaded Denmark, and then Norway, in an attempt to guarantee security of Scandinavia's vital mineral resources for their war industry. This assault, Operation Weserübung, represented the first joint air-land-and-sea campaign in the history of warfare, and was the only such campaign planned by the Wehrmacht high command, including all three services of the Wehrmacht.

This book describes the events of this tumultuous campaign that not only led to Winston Churchill's appointment as British Prime Minister, but also saw the crippling of the German Kriegsmarine as a fighting force.
