The fierce naval battles fought in Norwegian waters during the spring of 1940 were recorded in documents that were once subject to restrictions under the Official Secrets Act. Fight for the Fjords includes the German account, written by the official historian within three years of the end of World War II, and the British report, which compiled previously unavailable Royal Navy records to produce one complete account. The combination of these two summaries forms a unique record.

The short, violent campaign for the control of Norway and its vital coastal waters was engaged by the forces of Norway, in defense of their homeland, as well as the forces of Nazi Germany, Great Britain, and France in the spring of 1940. In Germany, the Norwegian war was just another step in the conquest of all of northwest Europe. In Britain, it was at the time considered a complete debacle, resulting in the ouster of the Chamberlain government and the installation of Winston Churchill as Prime Minister. In the face of Britain's overwhelming sea power, Germany conquered and occupied the total coastline of Norway in a month. This occupation would cost Britain and her allies millions of tons of shipping and untold thousands of men during the next four years.

“An intensely detailed historical account and counterfactual analysis of the strategic dilemmas faced by German and Allied forces at Narvik.” —Naval Historical Foundation Published for the first time in English, this is a German account of the German invasion of Norway in the spring of 1940. It focuses on the efforts of Group “1” led by Eduard Dietl. This group of Gebirgstruppen—mountain troops—was landed at Narvik in early April by ten destroyers. These ships were then all sunk by the Allies. Dietl’s troops were outnumbered by Allied troops but his defense utilized ammunition, food and sailors from the sunken ships and his men retook Narvik once the Allies abandoned their efforts to push the Germans out of Norway. “The book does provide detailed accounts of the numerous battles and skirmishes around Narvik in the spring of 1940. The maps are useful to help understand the terrain and geography. The focus of the text is at the tactical level, and any historian interested in the tactics of the Norwegian campaign or of German mountain troops at this time would find this especially useful.” —Journal of Military History “The story of Dietl’s improvisation in the face of such inadequacies is quite impressive . . . the best account in English of the German side of Narvik.” —Stone & Stone Second World War Books “A fascinating look at the battle from the German side. While the book does reflect the attitudes of the time it was written, it also reveals what the German troops faced and provides a good account of the various engagements in and around Narvik.” —WWII History Magazine

[Includes 23 maps and 31 illustrations] This volume describes two campaigns that the Germans conducted in their Northern Theater of Operations. The first they launched, on 9 April 1940, against Denmark and Norway. The second they conducted out of Finland in partnership with the Finns against the Soviet Union. The latter campaign began on 22 June 1941 and ended in the winter of 1944-45 after the Finnish Government had sued for peace. The scene of these campaigns by the end of 1941 stretched from the North Sea to the Arctic Ocean and from Bergen on the west coast of Norway, to Petrozavodsk, the former capital of the Karelo-Finnish Soviet Socialist Republic. It faced east into the Soviet Union on a 700-mile-long front, and west on a 1,300-mile sea frontier. Hitler regarded this theater as the keystone of his empire, and, after 1941, maintained in it two armies totaling over a half million men. In spite of its vast area and the effort and worry which Hitler lavished on it, the Northern Theater throughout most of the war constituted something of a military backwater. The major operations which took place in the theater were overshadowed by events on other fronts, and public attention focused on the theaters in which the strategically decisive operations were expected to take place. Remoteness, German security measures, and the Russians’ well-known penchant for secrecy combined to keep information concerning the Northern Theater down to a mere trickle, much of that inaccurate. Since the war, through official and private publications, a great deal more has become known. The present volume is based in the main on the greatest remaining source of unexploited information, the captured German military and naval records. In addition a number of the participants on the German side have very generously contributed from their personal knowledge and experience.

Allied operations and strategy in the spring 1940 Norwegian campaign which ended with the evacuation of Narvik are analyzed. These operations were the first joint, combined warfare in WWII and conducted in a littoral environment. They provide valuable operational level of war lessons to current day commanders and planners of the United States Armed Forces who will direct decreased forces in various littoral environments around the world. The majority of this analysis relies on sources written from the British perspective. Limited views of the strategy and operations from the Norwegian and German side are presented. Main causes of the Allied failure include: unclear strategic and operational objectives failure to provide unity of command, national command authority interference in theatre operations, intelligence shortfalls, lack of sustainable logistics and insufficient force. A conclusion is reached that these issues still present potential problems and require continued consideration in modern U.S. military planning. Allied failure in the norwegian littoral, 1940- Operational level of war lessons for today.
