SynopsisThis is the second volume of Geirr Haarr's monumental and unsurpassed account of the events at sea during the German invasion of Norway in 1940. The early part of the book covers the operations off southern and western Norway where Noewegian and British forces attempted to that the German advance out of the invasion ports and the stream of supplies and reinforcements across the Skagerrak. The second part focuses on the British landings in central Norway where the Royal for the first time had its mastery challenged by air superiority from land-based aircraft. The author then covers the events in and around Narvik where Norwegian, British, French and Polish naval, air and land forces were engaged in the first allied combined amphibious landings of World War II. Finally, the author focuses on the events during the allied evacuation in June, in which the first carrier task force operations of the War, including the loss of the carries Glorious, figure prominently. As in the first volume, the narratives shifts continuously between the strategic and operational issues and the experiences of the officers and ratings living through the events, while extensive research has revealed aspects of the war that remain controversial to this day.
