gjennomfallet

gjennomfallet is a Norwegian term that translates to "breakthrough" or "penetration." It generally refers to a successful advance or overcoming of an obstacle, often in a military context. This could involve breaching enemy lines, penetrating defenses, or achieving a significant strategic advantage. The term emphasizes the idea of forceful movement through a barrier that was previously holding back progress.

In military history, "gjennomfallet" might describe a critical moment in a battle where a unit managed to break through an entrenched position. This success could lead to the encirclement of enemy forces, the capture of vital territory, or a shift in the momentum of the conflict. The term implies a decisive action that changes the course of events. Beyond military applications, "gjennomfallet" can also be used metaphorically to describe overcoming significant personal or societal challenges, signifying a point where an individual or group successfully pushes past a difficult period or limitation.
