Episode 32 - Golden Eggs
<p>On This Episode of History Date Night:</p><p>The Allies finally land in force and instantly collide with snow, missing gear, and orders that don’t match. In this episode we cover the German invasion of Norway from April 16–20, when operational improvisation on both sides turns victory into a logistics and leadership test.</p><p>Justin and Jennie trace the first major Allied troop landings at Harstad, Namsos, and Åndalsnes, the Royal Navy’s mounting losses under Luftwaffe attack, and one of the campaign’s great ironies: Bletchley Park breaks the Norway Enigma key, but Britain can’t yet deliver the intelligence where it matters.</p>

Episode 31 - Maud Ray Kent
<p>On This Episode of History Date Night: Norway is already under attack and now the real scramble begins. In these pivotal days of the Norwegian campaign (April 10–15, 1940), the war at sea turns brutal, the first Allied troops hit Norwegian soil, and Quisling’s “government” collapses almost as fast as it appeared.</p><p> Picking up immediately after Germany’s lightning invasion of Norway and Denmark, Jennie and Justin follow the next week’s turning points: two ferocious Battles of Narvik in the same fjord, a landmark air attack that sinks the Königsberg, and the early shape of resistance, from king and cabinet to volunteers in a forgotten fortress.</p>
