Tom Holland agrees that the Allies disgraced themselves through their conduct during the Norwegian campaign.

“We absolutely disgraced ourselves. To quote Max Hastings in his book on the Second World War, our campaign was characterized by utter moral ignability and military incompetence.”

Dominic Sandbrook believes that Britain and France bear significant responsibility for the failure of the Allied campaign in Norway.

“And really he more than anyone Churchill more than anyone deserves the blame for what went wrong in Norway.”
