Norway itself was ill-prepared for the Blitzkrieg and its last troops surrendered on the 10 th of June. Britain and France attempted invasions as well, to open up another front of the war – which ultimately failed as these troops were redirected to the (failed) defence of France. In early April of 1940, Nazi Germany invaded Norway under the pretence of protecting it from British and French ‘interference’. Britain, too, began pressuring Norway to take a side. Maritime incidents inside Norwegian waters put its neutrality into doubt, as far as the Nazis were concerned. It began rearmament just before war broke out, at the pleas of its military officials. But as the tense months dragged on, conflict with the new Reich became inevitable. Offers from Nazi Germany in early 1939 of a non-aggression pact were rejected to maintain this stance. It had maintained neutrality during the First World War, and pursued pacifism through much of the post-war years. Let’s take a look at each single-player campaign, and piece them together with what really happened. I took the liberty of tackling such controversy two years ago, and I’m ready to do it again. And, also like last time, it’s mostly founded on gamer butthurt. Much like Battlefield 1, controversy surrounding Battlefield V’s historical accuracy erupted nearly immediately. WW2 is cool again, much to the groaning of players old enough to remember when games set in the conflict were everywhere. This week, Battlefield V bought us back to the franchise’s beginnings. Vietnam, modern warfare, a brief return to its roots with Battlefield 1943 in 2009, the First World War, and even the near future of 2142. Over the years, the franchise has jumped from place to place. 2002’s Battlefield 1942 made playing through the war’s epic battles possible, on a scale that hadn’t been seen before. They date back to (at least) Castle Wolfenstein in 1981. Games are absolutely no stranger to the Second World War.
Entertainment doesn’t shy away from it either, which is where our good friend video games comes in.

Countless books, documentaries, movies, and TV programs have catalogued the most devastating war in history in ways that no other period of history can boast. The Second World War is probably the most documented war in history.
