I really like the Swedish providing AA-guns for the Norwegians even if they well know they might need them soon mainly in light of the defeat of the German Mountaintroops at Narvik and holding back the German advance.
The Swedish General Staff will well know they are in the fighting to some degree by now but as shown in Finland during the Winter War they will be quite aggressive.
Oh and let us hear the Swedish king lament the damned politicians going to war with his beloved Fuhrer!

Is Italy joining the German side in this thread? Battle of France will continue as IOTL with similar outcome, at least until mid-June. So Italy will declare war to France, Norway was far away and I doubt Mussolini ever care about it. |

Ah that confirms this isn't related to the other thread where France may well survive the German onslaught.

How dare you attempt to suppress ideas/discussions! Do you think your God Emperor Xi? 
Seriously I was assuming DMZ, was treating this as a separate thread but there are clear possible interconnections where one incentive for the allies to decide to fight on in Norway is as a result of France doing significantly better against the German onslaught. For which something like his dramatically improved ADA would be a possible route.

Indeed, as long as Allies hold out at Sedan and prevent Germans to encircle them in Belgium, Churchill won't abandon in Norway. And after the fall of Narvirk, if the frontline is in Bodø - Fauske, there are plenty of reasons to stay in Norway or, at least, to help Nowegians to resist. |

And after the fall of Narvirk, if the frontline is in Bodø - Fauske, there are plenty of reasons to stay in Norway or, at least, to help Nowegians to resist. But the question remains - What is happening after June 30th, 1940 in this scenario? Norway at this moment appears to be in a divided situation. Italy has joined the Axis side The French situation is similar up to mid-June. What exactly has happened in France and the French Empire between Italy's June 10 declaration of war, and June 22, the date of the OTL French armistice, and June 30th? What is happening to everyone and every place in the world between June 30th 1940, and say, June 22, 1941? |
