| Jul 30, 2016 at 2:33 | comment | added | njuffa | I am not sure how trade between Germany and Norway plays into the answer to my question? My, possibly naive, assumption is that any food imports Norway may have required in the early 1900s (no idea whether any were necessary!) would have been satisfied by imports from Denmark. There may have been other imports to Norway relevant to food production, e.g. fertilizer such as potash, of which Germany is a major producer and which could have been impacted by the Allied naval blockade of Germany. Is that what you are driving at? | |

| Jul 30, 2016 at 2:18 | comment | added | njuffa | I know very little about Scandinavian history overall, but my vague understanding is that in post-medieval (or post Hanseatic League) times, Norway's economic ties to Britain have been stronger than its economic ties with Germany. I understand that a movie is not a documentary; the quoted statement simply piqued my interested and since I couldn't determine with certainty whether it may have a basis in fact from one hour of internet searches, I figured asking here may elucidate the issue in a more efficient and authoritative manner. | |
