SEE PHOTO----- COMPLETE, ORIGINAL NEWSPAPER, the Baltimore News-Post (MD) dated April 19, 1940. This newspaper contains a prominent bold banner headline and long report on British Prime Minister WINSTON CHURCHILL vowing to throw the Nazis out of Norway.
This vow by Churchill to liberate Norway from the Nazis was not fulfilled until some 5 years later when Nazi Germany surrendered to the Allies at the end of WW II in Europe.
The German occupation of Norway during World War II began on 9 April 1940 after German forces invaded the neutral Scandinavian country of Norway. Conventional armed resistance to the German invasion ended on 10 June 1940 and the Germans controlled Norway until the capitulation of German forces in Europe on 8/9 May 1945. Throughout this period, Norway was continuously occupied by the Wehrmacht. Civil rule was effectively assumed by the Reichskommissariat Norwegen (Reich Commissariat of Norway), which acted in collaboration with a pro-German puppet government, the Quisling regime, while the Norwegian King Haakon VII and the prewar government escaped to London, where they acted as a government in exile. This period of military occupation is in Norway referred to as the "war years" or "occupation period".
