what a one-sided and false recount of the real events….
seems,the norwegians as well as other nations have to clean their history.
they accepted the breach of neutrality by the british by mining their waters,they accepted,that german ships were taken over by british in so called neutral norwegian waters and were wondering,why germans covered their supply routes?
as well,they tend to forget their norwegian people which joined the germans…

the fun part? the british,which created this mess for the norwegians, took their feet into their hands and run and left them alone,as fast as they got kicked out of france in dunkirk…
what kind of ally..

Lol Peaceful nations normally do not side with aggressor nations. Though individuals can and did collaborate with hostile forces if they believe the alternative is death. What happened in France had nothing to do with a lack of support from the British. The British committed a large portion of their aircraft and troupes to France. France had more and better armor than the invading German army yet they surrendered almost with out a fight. This left the British facing a large mobile armored force with no way to combat them. France was responsible for their own defeat trying to fight a war that they were in a way responsible for themselves. If not for the incredibly harsh terms set that they insisted on in the treaty of versaille. Germany would have never sank into the hardship that allowed a psychopath like Hitler to appear as the savior of the German people.
