=**Hitler in Scandinavia**=

In the spring of 1940, Hitler easily overran Denmark. Hitler claimed that the Danish were Germany's Aryan brothers, but in reality Hitler wanted to control the coastline. The Nazis then went after Norway, which put up a fight against the Nazis but would be taken. Norway would be a strategic post as Hitler was looking to gain control of the northern Atlantic and aiming to take Britain. Make sure to mark this information on your map.
