Yet another impressing book from one of my favorite writers Alf R. Jacobsen. The book is about the 9’th of April 1940 when Germany invaded Norway, focusing on the sinking ot the German cruiser Blücher caused by shooting from the fortress Oscarsborg and how close it was that the whole German invasion actually failed. Thanks to Norwegian defeatism, lead by the Norwegian government. If someone could have shown strong leadership the Germans could have been forced to turn around. But at least thanks to people such as Birger Eriksen the invasion was delayed so much that the king, government, the gold reserves and more where able to escape.
A book well worth spending time reading!
