| Sumario: | During the Second World War, as part of the German forces' campaign to invade Norway, the Battle of Narvik unfolded between April and June of 1940. This analysis seeks to explore, from a different perspective, certain facets associated with this engagement, with a focus on the mountain troops involved, the charismatic leadership exhibited by one of its division commanders, and the harsh conditions endured by combatants in a hostile environment. Esprit de corps, courage, traditions, the example set by those leading troops, adversities stemming from challenging geography, and the actions of the enemy are intimately tied to emotional and psychological aspects. These facets, often overlooked in the study of the History of War, can, as elucidated in the subsequent paragraphs, prove decisive in shaping combat actions. |
