Description: Great Battles - Battle of Norway " width="100%" height="90" border="0"> THE GREAT BATTLES - Battle of Norway DVD Video Description THE GREAT BATTLES is a new series of DVDs that delve into the most historically important battles of WWII. Using a combination of U.S. Dept. of Defense and British archive films and period newsreels of the time, each film features actual wartime footage and or first-person accounts from those that were there. The Battle for Norway was the attempt of the Allies to defend northern Norway coupled with Norwegian forces' resistance to the country's invasion by Nazi Germany in World War II. British and German naval forces met at the first Battle of Narvik on 9 and 10 April, and the first British forces landed at Åndalsnes on the 13th. The main strategic reason for Germany to invade Norway was to seize the port of Narvik and guarantee the iron ore needed for wartime steel production. A British, French and Polish expeditionary force of 38,000 soldiers, many days in, landed in the north. It had moderate success. A rapid strategic retreat took place after Germany's overwhelmingly quick invasion of France in May. The Norwegian government then sought exile in London. The campaign ended with the occupation of the entirety of Norway by Germany, but exiled Norwegian forces escaped and fought on from overseas.
