Abstract

Operation Weserübung was a German military operation that took place from December 1939 to March 1940. The operation aimed to invade Norway and Denmark simultaneously in order to secure supply routes from neutral Sweden. The German fleet departed from Wilhelmshaven and successfully landed in various ports in Norway and Denmark, capturing the Danish and Norwegian governments. However, the operation faced difficulties, including resistance from the Royal Navy and Norwegian forces. The German invasion of Norway was later challenged at the Nuremberg trials, where it was determined that Germany had no right to attack neutral Norway. [Extracted from the article]
