"Mrs. Fredriksen is one of 9,000 to 12,000 Norwegian children who became part of the Nazis' Lebensborn program, which was begun by SS chief Heinrich Himmler to increase the supply of blond-haired, blue-eyed "Aryan" children."....... I wonder how many "other" children were born to "married" German/Norwegian couples? (It would appear that most just went on with their lives.) Also, how many Russian/German children were born out of wedlock in 1946? (We don't see/hear much about them.) (Maybe now with the declining birth rate in Western Europe, they should consider re instituting a similar program?) Wars have a tendency to produce children by invaders. Ever hear of Amerasians? I'm sure the Romans, Mongols, Huns, etc. did their fair share too. Mrs. Fredricksen didn't ask to be born, and for that reason alone they should not have picked on her. No child can pick out its parents. Also, Out of the approximately 300,000 German troops occupying Norway, how many were SS? There were SS units in Hungary and Berlin at the wars end that were made up of Norwegians, but were there SS Divisions actually stationed in Norway? I have always been under the impression that Norway was invaded only because German Intel. discovered the British plan to use it as a base. Norway could have remained neutral, like Sweden had the British not intended to use it. Thus Norway and Mrs Fredricksen ended up as victims of circumstance.

Norway was a supply base for a number of German minerals and the hope of attaining hard water. Britain offered arms and men to build up a force to prevent a possible German invasion- Norway said no thank you. Quisling - a Norwegian Nazi opened Norway for an easy take over by Germany. Sweden opened her ports and railroads to be used by the Germans so that Germany could capture Norway. Sweden collaborated with the Nazis. Sweden openly sold the Nazis minerals, weapons etc... -- so much for a neutral Sweden -- Norway and Sweden were OPENLY sympathetic to the NAZIS, even today Sweden and Norway have prevented NAZI hunters from arresting NAZI criminals from being arrested -- Norway and Sweden are NO friends of the Human race -- lastly thousand and thousands of Norwegians openly volunteered to fight for the NAZIS, many joined the SS. Both Germany and Norway during WWII issued postage stamps honoring the Norwegian assistance to the NAZI war effort. Today Sweden and Norway openly hate Israel. All I can say is Norway and Sweden are getting exactly what they deserve as they nations are dying and turning into hot spots for islamic growth! All Sweden and Norway care about are money -- just like france.

Germany invaded Norway for several reasons.
1. The heavy water plants of Norsk-Hydro they needed for their atomic program.
2. Bases for there Navy, so that it could not be bottled up in the Baltic.
3. It also provided a base for its Air Force.

However it would have been a very poor choice for an Invasion of the Continent by the Allies. You would need to land a force across 500 miles of the North Sea, fight your way across rugged mountains of Central Norway that would have been a defenders paradise, then across Sweden and around the Baltic Sea or another water invasion across the Skagarak to Denmark.

One more point I would like to make is that the Norwegians fought and resisted and many good men died for it. The Swedes did not do a God Da-- thing except use their industry to support the Nazi War Machine. We should have bombed the Swedish Factories as we did the German factories!
