Kampf um Norwegen - Feldzug 1940

Battle for Norway - 1940 campaign is a 80 minute-long Nazi propaganda film directed by Martin Rikli and Dr. Werner Buhre by orders from the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht. Released in 1940, the movie follows the Invasion of Denmark and Norway in the spring 1940.
Kampf um Norwegen - Feldzug 1940 is the German invasion film that Dr. Martin Rikli was asked to make by the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht. However, it was never even shown in Germany, and nobody knows the reason why. The film was for a long time considered lost in its entirety. The Bundesarchiv in Berlin held only a few clips from the film. But then a complete nitrate copy of the film surfaced on an Internet auction in 2005. The Norwegian College Professor and Media Expert Jostein Saakvitne discovered this, and purchased the copy.

He contacted the Norwegian Film Institute, and a consignment was entered into. The Film Institute had the film transferred to a video master, and sent the nitrate copy to the National Library nitrate film depository in Mo i Rana. Next, The Film Institute contacted the Bundesarchiv in Berlin to the film rights clarified. As it became clear that the rights belonged to the Bundesarchiv, the film copy was bought back by Germany, and the physical film and the film rights were compiled in the Bundesarchiv.

However, the film's special background and topic make it as interesting for Norway as for Germany, as well as for other people with an interest for this part of the Second World War.

The film included a lot of unseen footage of the invasion of Norway and Denmark, and is in German, English subtitles.
