In April 1940, 70 years ago, the Germans launched by sea and air a meticulously planned and daringly executed invasion of Norway and Denmark, primarily to secure the safe passage of iron ore from neutral Sweden. The conflict in Norway was the first occasion in the history of warfare that all three Services had been engaged in a totally joint operation. The naval losses the Germans suffered ensured that Britain was safe from invasion and the evacuation from Dunkirk was possible.
