Episode 34 - They Are Simply to Leave

On This Episode of History Date Night:

Norway is collapsing, and the Allies ordered to leave without telling their Norwegian partners. In this week of History Date Night (April 27–May 3, 1940), the central campaign of the German invasion of Norway ends in evacuation, bitter Allied infighting, and a final naval disaster at sea.

Justin and Jennie track the retreat from Kvam through the Gudbrandsdal valley to Andalsnes, the destruction at Namsos under relentless Luftwaffe bombing, and the political fallout as Britain and France fracture over strategy, while the machinery of occupation tightens elsewhere in Europe.
