Norway 1940: The Forgotten Fiasco

Book Description
Almost 2,000 British soldiers landed in Norway during the evening of April 18, 1940. On May 2, 163 men were rescued by the Royal Navy from one of the most ill-planned operations of World War II. Joseph Kynoch is one of the few soldiers who can still remember the campaign that first brought British troops into battle with Hitler's new army-a well-equipped army that bloodied the battlefields of Poland with the most modern weaponry and air cover.
