punktoperasjon

Punktoperasjon is a Norwegian military operation. It took place during World War II, as part of the larger Eastern Campaign. The operation was carried out by the Norwegian resistance movement, with support from British Special Operations Executive. The goal was to disrupt and undermine the German military presence in Norway, which was seen as part of the broader Allied strategy to weaken Axis powers.

The operation began in 1943 and continued until 1944. Guerrilla warfare tactics were employed, including sabotage and intelligence gathering. Punktoperasjon targeted German military and industrial facilities, with a focus on transportation networks. Norwegian resistance groups and British intelligence agencies worked closely together to coordinate attacks and gather information on German troop movements.

The operation's objectives were multifaceted. It aimed to disrupt the German army's ability to supply and move troops around Norway, while also gathering intelligence on German military capabilities. Additionally, Punktoperasjon was intended to boost Norwegian resistance morale and undermine the legitimacy of the Nazi occupation. While specific details on the operation's success or impact are scarce, it is known that the Norwegian resistance played a significant role in supporting the Allied effort, with operations like Punktoperasjon playing a part in that broader context.
