Battle of Midtskogen
The Battle of Midtskogen was the battle fought on the night between 9 and 10 April 1940 during the Second World War between a German raiding party and an improvised Norwegian force. The site of the battle was Midtskogen farm, situated approximately west of the town Elverum at the mouth of the Østerdalen valley in southern Norway. The invading German troops were out on a raid to capture the Norwegian King, Haakon VII, and his cabinet and thereby forcing Norway into submission. After a short battle, the German force withdrew, having lost its commander in the fighting.〔(''Minnestund på Midtskogen'' (Hærstaben) )〕
==Opposing forces==
The Norwegian defenders mustered a slightly numerically superior force, the core of which was a rifle company of the Royal Guards and a number of hastily mustered volunteers, consisting mostly of members of local rifle clubs.〔(''H.M. Kongens Garde'' (Kongehuset) )〕
The German party consisted of approximately 100 ''Fallschirmjäger'' in a convoy of commandeered Norwegian civilian vehicles. Though somewhat numerically inferior the Germans were vastly superior in terms of training and firepower, possessing numerous modern submachine guns, light machine guns and hand grenades.
