World War II

In addition to the Norwegian Campaign, Norwegian soldiers joined the Norwegian resistance movement after German forces occupied Norway. Likewise, many Norwegian Army members served with the German forces. Norwegian soldiers also joined free Norwegian units in the United Kingdom to continue the fight against the Nazis. These units included the Norwegian Independent Company 1 and 5 Troop, No.10 (Inter Allied) Army Commandos. The bulk of the Norwegian Army during the years in exile in Britain consisted of a brigade in Dumfries as well as smaller units stationed in Iceland, Jan Mayen, Svalbard and South Georgia. Units from this brigade took control over Finnmark in 1944 after the German retreat from the Red Army. The Home Front (Hjemmefronten) was the a Norwegian resistance movement during Nazi Germany's occupation of Norway (1940–1945).
