  1. With an interest in the 1940 Norway Campaign, Lunde is on my Reading List too.
    I have a number of other Norway 1940 recommendations if your interests divert into that direction.

    1. Thank you Jonathan, my interest in Operation Weserübung comes not from the campaign but in how the Germans planned for it. I have one chapter left in Lunde and it is a good read, but could of done with a better editor.
