Norway deserves More!

The Norwegians helped us win World War 2 and are they aren't even mentioned in 99.999999999999% of the history books. They stopped Germany from gaining nuclear weapons and causing what happened in Japan to happen to us... or worse. BUT DOES ANYONE THINK OF THAT!!! NO!!!!!!!!!! My teacher said Norway was not an Ally of the U.S.A. in World War 2 and France was and Norway did more than them! BUT DO THEY GET CREDIT!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!! I told her that Norway was controlled by the Axis Powers and rebelled against them and therefore fought against Germany which made them an Ally unoffically. She said it wasn't, even unoffically. What I have to go through to make my teachers realize Norway was the greatest Ally (even unoffically) of the U.S.A. in World War 2. --75.88.42.155 21:37, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, Norway does deserve more. - Canglesea (talk) 16:13, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Norway was a country that was ardent in getting controll of curbing peoples alco consumption during the 1930s. Norway built down defences, as the Government was comfortably in the same bed as the broken rifle association. The Germans were allowed to gear in their military machinery in to Norway. Had the "Blücher" succesfully come to Oslo, the PM might have thought it was to give him a VIP party.

So Norway did not really allow any allies to use their bases, but atleast the allies were permitted to bomb the airfields and what stuff was there. In the postwar era, the PM was given a medal. I can certainely swear that the people of Norway could have deserved better than that, though I may be wrong. --83.108.28.91 (talk) 02:09, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

It sounds like your teacher and you were just quibbling over the correct use of the word "ally." Don't let it bother you. The world knows what Norway did in resisting the Nazis. I'm a Canadian, and I know it. Deschreiber (talk) 20:02, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Norway was a country that would to some extent act as if they already were allied with the Germans before the invasion. When the Germans were in charge in Norway, Gestapo was allowed to act without any resistance by military units from within Norway. Germany was allowed to construct navy bases in Norway, and airbases too. A huge portion of Norways shipping fleet acted as if being a taxi service of German troops. The crew of SF Hydro felt ok about transporting military equiptment for the Germans. Just kidding. None of it happened. --82.134.28.194 (talk) 14:32, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

number of dead

The numbers do not add up correctly. If only one of the 12 passengers below deck survived, that makes 11 plus 8 German soldiers plus 7 crew for a total of 26. Maybe there were also passengers above deck who died? Anyway, the total in the article is given as 18. I wonder if there's a mistake in the wording--could it be that all the passengers from below deck survived except one? Deschreiber (talk) 19:56, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
