Germany Invades Denmark and Norway
Germany struck Denmark with little resistance, seizing Copenhagen and other ports, then pushed into Norway while Allied leaders met in London. The Royal Navy and Air Force responded, with heavy naval battles along the Norwegian coast, numerous ships sunk on both sides, and continued Allied efforts to repel the invasion. The clash marks a new, dangerous phase in the war as neutrals face Hitler’s advances.
