Summary[edit]

Description
English: Military uniforms, weapons, equipment, etc. from World War II in Norway 1940–1945, especially the Nazi German invasion and occupation and the directly following Norwegian campaign, the unsuccessful attempted Allied liberation during the early stages of the war from April 9, 1940, until June 10, 1940, as well as from later events of the war in Northern Norway (Operation Claymore and Operation Anklet commando raids on the Lofoten islands 1941, etc.):

1. German air force (Luftwaffe) NCO candidate for communication (Nachrichten). Golden brown was the Waffenfarbe (colour of branch of service) for signal troops. Equipped with headset and microphone, etc. Luftwaffe was the aerial warfare branch of the combined German Wehrmacht military forces during the war.
2. German army (Wehrmacht Heer) Gebirgsjäger trained for mountain and winter combat. With German MP 40 submachine gun, etc.
3. Wounded German alpine officer of the 139th Mountain Infantry Regiment of Wehrmacht's 3rd Mountain Division.
4. Norwegian winter camouflage uniform (white smock and trousers) used in 1940. Also field cap, knitted mittens, etc. With the German occupational forces in 1940, as with the other parts of the Armed Forces, the Norwegian Army had to surrender to a superior force, but army units were the ones resisting for the longest period of time: with help from British, French, and Polish forces, the 6th Division led by the legendary Major General Carl Gustav Fleischer, were able to recapture the city of Narvik during the Battle of Narvik.

Also seen are a Norwegian flag, photos (from the commando raid on the Lofoten islands, etc.), bomb debris, etc.
