In early 1940, a battle raged to control the ice-free, iron-ore
port in northern Norway - with changing fortunes until the very
end. This highly detailed book covers both the naval battles and
the individual Norwegian, British, Polish, French and German units
that fought the land campaign over northern Norway. Highly detailed
maps guide you step by step through the events. Few other books on
Narvik give you as much detail on the forces of the fighting five.
From Gebirgsjagers to Guardsmen, Fallschirmjagers to Foreign
Legionnaires, it offers you an impressive level of tactical detail,
even down to company command, whilst also helping you understand
the strategic confusion surrounding the whole Allied expedition to
the north too. Among the naval clashes covered in this
action-packed story are the destroyer battles in the fjords, the
sinking of the aircraft carrier HMS Glorious and the roles the
famous battlecruisers Scharnhorst and Gneisenau played in the
fighting. No less dramatic are the land battles, which include
amphibious landings, sabotage, commando raids, daring ski missions
and a rare parachute insertion by Gebirgsjager troops.
