Klart skip - Marinen i krig 1939-1945
World War II started September 1, 1939, by Germany attacking Poland. On the same day, the Norwegian Navy set out to protect the neutrality of their country. When Norway was invaded by the Germans, their Navy actively participated in the war. The Navy made a significant contribution throughout the sea battle against Germany, and particularly important was the protection of the convoy routes, the Great Britain's lifeline, which was crucial to the outcome of the war. In two programs, some of those who attended and survived the war tell their stories about the youth's encounter with brutal war on the sea, loss of comrades, fear of death and anger against the enemy who had occupied Norway.
