      this is good for the background of the conflict
  • Why was Hitler interested in Norway? Control of Norway’s extensive coastline would have been very important in the battle for control of the North Sea and easing the passage of German warships and submarines into the Atlantic. The control of Norway would also aid Germany’s ability to import iron ore from Sweden.

      Germans used Norway (Narvik) as a port
  • Germany should seize Norway in a future war so that the German Navy of the future would have an easier time getting to the Atlantic
  • Much of the country was unpopulated and her small population meant that she had a small army.

      Norway only had 3 mill people
  • The plan was to take the major cities, secure them and then fan out from each city so that each force joined up together at some point. Oslo, the capital, was to be attacked from both sea and air. Sola, a major air base near Stavanger in the south, was to be attacked by an air landing while the nearby city was to be attack by parachutists. Narvik, Trondheim and Bergen were to be attacked from the sea with troops being landed by warships.

      Their plans were detailed and well planned out after the geographical prons and cons
  • Falkenhorst’s hope was that the Norwegians would be so overwhelmed by the attacks, that the government would surrender without too much of a fight. In  fact, German troops were ordered to only fire if fired at.
