I have a tablecloth map of Greenland.

My Dad brought it back from a TDY in the early ‘70s.

I had a neighbor, retired USCG.

One of his stories was invading Greenland during WWII.

He claims it was the first Allied invasion.

Any way, they storm ashore to hit a German radio/weather station, the they were greeted by the handful of Germans as rescuers, have been unsupplied in quite a while.

The Germans were taken to the Naval prison in Portsmouth, NH.

Apparently, there were a small number of German stations on the Greenland coast, and my neighbor was only involved in shutting down one of them.
