"During WWII Norway tried to use "government" to resist one of the biggest criminals of all time, Adolph Hitler. A lot of good it did them. They were occupied by the Nazis for almost five years.
They might have been much better served with an armed population willing to fight like the heavily armed Swiss who had every intention of doing againts Herr Hitler and Friends. Hitler knew it too and took it to heart."
Norway is a small country, and until we struck on oil, it was a rather poor country. We had a military, but were coup by Vidkun Quisling & co, king and gouverment fled to England. That way they could still fight against the nazis.
The resistance in Norway was big, we even stopped the nazis building the atombomb.
The north of Norway got most damage, when it was bombed and burned as the nazis moved further south, trying to escape the russian army that came over the borders up north.
