Book Synopsis An Analysis Of The Norwegian Resistance During The Second World War by : Major Kim M. Johnson
Download or read book An Analysis Of The Norwegian Resistance During The Second World War written by Major Kim M. Johnson and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Norwegian Resistance during the Second World War (April 1940-June 1945) was basically a peaceful set of events conducted by the civilian population as well as underground military organizations. While sabotage and other hostile resistance acts did occur, they were not great in number. It should not be overlooked the Norwegian Armed Forces did fight for 63 days before admitting defeat to Germany. This paper will answer the question “Was the Norwegian Resistance successful against the German Nazis once their country was taken over by them during the Second World War?” The Warden theory of the organization of a system is used to categorize the Resistance movement, dissecting it and placing it in categories. Centers of gravity are noted and discussed. While the Norwegians did not have the military strength to beat the Germans, they did win many battles via their Resistance to the German Rule. These victories along with German acknowledgment prove the Norwegian Resistance was successful against the German Army and its rule over Norway.

Book Synopsis Norway in the Second World War by : Ole Kristian Grimnes
Download or read book Norway in the Second World War written by Ole Kristian Grimnes and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-09-08 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering political, military, economic and social history, Norway in the Second World War is the most authoritative book on the subject in the English language. This innovative study describes how the Germans conquered Norway in 1940 and the type of government that was then imposed. German organisations such as the Wehrmacht, the SS and the civilian Reichskommissariat are all presented, along with how they operated during the occupation. Ole Kristian Grimnes examines the Norwegian Nazi Party and the important role that it played during the period, as well as analysing how the Norwegian economy became integrated into the German war economy. The Norwegian resistance (including the Communists) and the Norwegian government-in-exile are explored in detail, while a separate chapter on the Holocaust in both Norwegian and international contexts is also included. As such, Norway in the Second World War is the definitive text on war and Nazi occupation in a nation that has been sorely neglected by the literature in the field until now.

Download or read book Church Resistance to Nazism in Norway, 1940-1945 written by Arne Hassing and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2014-02-01 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Church Resistance to Nazism in Norway, 1940-1945 examines the evolution of the Lutheran state Church of Norway in response to the German occupation. While German Protestant churches generally accepted Nazism and state incorporation, Norway’s churches rejected both Nazism and ideological alignment. Arne Hassing moves through the history of the Church of Norway’s relationship to the Nazi state, from its initial confused complicities to its open resistance and separation. He writes engagingly of the people at the center of this struggle and reflects on how the resistance affected the postwar church and state.

Book excerpt: "Between 1940 and 1945, Britain's Special Operations Executive (SOE) carried out sabotage and organised resistance across occupied Europe. Over 5 years, SOE sent over 500 agents into Norway to carry out a range of operations from sabotage and assassination to attempts to organise an underground guerrilla army. This book is the first multi-archival, international academic analysis of SOE's policy and operations in Norway and the influences that shaped them, challenging previous interpretations of the relationship between this organisation and both the Norwegian authorities and the Milorg resistance movement."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Download or read book Hidden Heroes: World War II in Norway written by Mike Palecek and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-10-26 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You never knew if the person next door was a hero; a Norwegian resistance fighter. The hero next door could be a teenager going with his dad to steal grain from a Nazi train, in order to feed refugees. It could be a girl who hid underground messages in her instrument case, while going by bike to a violin lesson. It could be the fisherman down the street, rowing a boat full of grenades, with a German U-boat captain sitting on the seat which was hiding them. Many Norwegians risked their lives to thwart the Nazis who were occupying their country. These are their true stories. These twenty eyewitness accounts were originally collected from Sons of Norway members by District 5 Cultural Director, Jean Bittner. We hope these accounts help you remember the acts of bravery that everyday heroes made in Norway during World War II.

Book Synopsis Folklore Fights the Nazis by : Kathleen Stokker
Download or read book Folklore Fights the Nazis written by Kathleen Stokker and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 1997-02-01 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Armed with jokes, puns, and cartoons, Norwegians tried to keep their spirits high and foster the Resistance by poking fun at the occupying Germans during World War II. Despite a 1942 ordinance mandating death for the ridicule of Nazi soldiers, Norwegians attacked the occupying Nazis and their Norwegian collaborators by means of anecdotes, quips, insinuating personal ads, children’s stories, Christmas cards, mock postage stamps, and symbolic clothing. In relating this dramatic story, Kathleen Stokker draws upon her many interviews with survivors of the Occupation and upon the archives of the Norwegian Resistance Museum and the University of Oslo. Central to the book are four “joke notebooks” kept by women ranging in age from eleven to thirty, who found sufficient meaning in this humor to risk recording and preserving it. Stokker also cites details from wartime diaries of three other women from East, West, and North Norway. Placing the joking in historical, cultural, and psychological context, Stokker demonstrates how this seemingly frivolous humor in fact contributed to the development of a resistance mentality among an initially confused, paralyzed, and dispirited population, stunned by the German invasion of their neutral country. For this paperback edition, Stokker has added a new preface offering a comparative view of resistance through humor in neighboring Denmark.
Download or read book A Typical SOE Story written by Rolf Dahlo and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-04-04 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author was born with a cover operation. He had at least three false identities in official records during the first ten days of life. The context was the Nazi occupation of Norway. People in the Resistance had to act in unusual ways. Some even had to give away their own children to protect them. The author was protected by adoptive parents who were secretive. After their death the author spent years attempting to research his enigmatic early life. Official wartime sources contained only false information about his father, and his mother was dead. An investigation seemed unlikely to find a father who had been present in Trondheim on the day of conception, the 27th of June 1942, probably with brown eyes and from the North of Norway. Historical research in the Resistance gave new information about secret work during WW2 and the stay behind organization in the early postwar years. His father was a secret agent of the British organization SOE. He was on operation to establish groups for subversive warfare as the illegal cover for the early attempts of sabotage against the battleship Tirpitz. His mother was the link between an Allied source for naval intelligence and the W/T agent. His father was captured by the enemy and subjected to torture for 63 days without cracking. The story documents the limited efficiency of torture. He died six days before his son was born with a cover operation to protect individuals in the Resistance connected with the agent. The book presents many individuals of the Resistance. One of them was the Dean of the Trondheim Cathedral, instrumental in establishing the early Resistance and credited for the cover operation protecting the author at birth. Another is the British intelligence officer Frank Stagg, active in both world wars and the early cold war. The author's father was sent to an SOE operation that had been penetrated by the enemy already in April 1941. Following his arrest SOE returned the compromised organizer to the field of operation. This disastrous decision led to the shooting of a young Swede in the Norwegian Legation in Stockholm. The tragic death in 1944 has been suppressed by the authorities of three countries. In this book there is a mixture of heroism and horror revealed by an author who discovered that these operations shaped his life. For some readers the discovery of the author's own identity after half a century in ignorance, will be their main interest. Many readers will concentrate on the theme of an adopted child discovering his biological family. For other readers the main interest is the story of the Resistance in Norway and of SOE's efforts in the war behind the front lines with the organization's legacy for postwar years of occupation preparedness.
Book Synopsis Nordic Narratives of the Second World War by : Mirja Österberg
Download or read book Nordic Narratives of the Second World War written by Mirja Österberg and published by Nordic Academic Press. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How have the dramatic events of the Second World War been viewed in the Nordic countries? In this book leading Nordic historians analyse post-war memory and historiography. They explore the relationship between scholarly and public understandings of the war. How have national interpretations been shaped by official security-policy doctrines? And in what way has the end of the Cold War affected the Nordic narratives? The authors not only present the overarching themes that set the Nordic experience of the Second World War apart from other European narratives, but also describe the distinctive post-war characteristics of Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland, and Sweden. Key concepts such as national identity, memory culture, and the moral turn are placed in their Nordic context. Bringing new nuance to the post-war history of Europe, this is the first work to focus on Nordic narratives of the war, and is valuable reading for students, academics, and all who have an interest in the historiography of the Second World War or modern European history.
Book Synopsis Nordic War Stories by : Marianne Stecher-Hansen
Download or read book Nordic War Stories written by Marianne Stecher-Hansen and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2021-02-03 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Situated on Europe’s northern periphery, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden found themselves caught between warring powers during World War II. Ultimately, these nations survived the conflict as sovereign states whose wartime experiences have profoundly shaped their historiography, literature, cinema and memory cultures. Nordic War Stories explores the commonalities and divergences among the five Nordic countries, examining national historiographies alongside representations of the war years in canonical literary works, travel writing, and film media. Together, they comprise a valuable companion that challenges the myth of Scandinavian homogeneity while demonstrating the powerful influence that the war continues to exert on national identities.
Download or read book Secret Alliances written by Tony Insall and published by Biteback Publishing. This book was released on 2021-04-08 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Europe, 1940. Nazi forces sweep across the continent, with A British invasion likely only weeks away. Never before has a resistance movement been so crucial to the war effort. In this definitive appraisal of Anglo-Norwegian cooperation in the Second World War, Tony Insall reveals how some of the most striking successes of the Norwegian resistance were the reports produced by the heroic SIS agents living in the country's desolate wilderness. Their coast-watching intelligence highlighted the movements of the German fleet and led to counter-strikes which sank many enemy ships – most notably the Tirpitz in November 1944. Using previously unpublished archival material from London, Oslo and Moscow, Insall explores how SIS and SOE worked effectively with their Norwegian counterparts to produce some of the most remarkable achievements of the Second World War.
