Invasion of Norway & Denmark - Operation Weserübung

Operation Weserübung was the German Invasion of Norway and Denmark in April 1940. It involved troops from the Army, Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe. It involved the ships Scharnhorst, Gneisenau, Blücher, Lützow, Admiral Hipper on the German side and HMS Glowworm, Warspite and Glorious on the British. Although it was an operational success, strategically it wasn't.

Military History Visualized provides a series of short narrative and visual presentations like documentaries based on academic literature or sometimes primary sources.
