Revelatory account of Germany's combined air, sea and land assault on Denmark and Norway.

More than any other campaign of WWII, Operation Weserubing has been shrouded in mystery. Strategic political and legal issues were unclear and military issues were dominated by risk. The German success was the result of improvisation and the application of available forces far beyond the comprehension of their British and Norwegian counterparts. The operation necessitated combining the resources of air force, army and navy. Troops were transported into battle by warship and aircraft, and paratroopers were used for the first time. This combined arms assault was the first 'three dimensional' strategic invasion in history. Hitler Strikes North details the course of this groundbreaking invasion and provides valuable historical and modern lessons about the role of combined arms planning, the strategic demand for resources, and the use of military force.

JACK GREENE has written on a wide range of naval, military and wargaming subjects for magazines including The Mariner's Mirror. He and ALESSANDRO MASSIGNANI co-authored Rommel's North Africa Campaign, Ironclads at War 1855-1891 and The Black Prince and the Sea Devils. ALESSANDRO MASSIGNANI is the author of several books and papers on naval and military topics.
