Speiloperasjonen

Speiloperasjonen, also known as Operation Speil, was a Norwegian military operation conducted during World War II. The operation took place in the spring of 1940, shortly after the German invasion of Norway. The primary objective of Speiloperasjonen was to disrupt German supply lines and communications in the Oslofjord area, which was a crucial waterway for the German forces.

The operation was planned and executed by Norwegian resistance forces, with support from British intelligence. The plan involved a series of sabotage and diversionary attacks aimed at drawing German attention away from key targets. The operation was a significant success, causing significant damage to German supply lines and communications. However, it also resulted in heavy casualties among the Norwegian resistance forces.

Speiloperasjonen is considered one of the most important military operations conducted by the Norwegian resistance during World War II. It demonstrated the resilience and determination of the Norwegian people in the face of German occupation. The operation also highlighted the importance of international support in the fight against Nazi Germany. Today, Speiloperasjonen is remembered as a symbol of Norwegian resistance and courage during the darkest days of World War II.
