Mountain Corps Norway ((ドイツ語:Gebirgskorps Norwegen)) was a German army unit during World War II. It saw action in Norway and Finland. The corps was formed in July 1940 and was later transferred to Northern Norway as part of AOK Norwegen. Its first action was taking part in Operation Renntier, the occupation of Finnish Petsamo. In June 1941 the corps attacked from Petsamo to Murmansk in an operation codenamed Platinfuchs. The attack failed and the corps never reached its goal. In April and May 1942 the Corps faced one of its toughest challenges. During a period of three weeks, the 14th Soviet Army attacked, trying to defeat the Corps. But there was another enemy - on May 4, 1942, a devastating, 90-hour-long polar storm took its toll on the soldiers.〔Book(German language) 'Winterschlacht im Mai' - Karl Ruef ISBN 3-7020-0472-6〕 In November 1942 the corps was renamed the ''XIX Gebirgskorps'' or XIX Mountain Corps. In 1944 the corps finally had to retreat back to Norway, where it surrendered in May 1945. From November 1944 onwards the corps was also sometimes known as Armeeabteilung Narvik. == Commanders == *Generaloberst Eduard Dietl (14 June 1940 - 15 January 1942) *Generalfeldmarschall Ferdinand Schörner (15 January 1942 - 1 October 1943) *General der Gebirgstruppe Georg Ritter von Hengl (1 October 1943 - 15 May 1944) *General der Gebirgstruppe Ferdinand Jodl (15 May 1944 - 8 May 1945) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mountain Corps Norway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
