Review of The King's Choice (2016) by Mike H — 07 Apr 2018

A typically false Norwegian take on their miserable national behavior in WW2. Their country was invaded by Nazi Germany in April 1940, to which they offered almost no resistance. They remained occupied until the end of WW2 in Europe in May 1945 - a happy conclusion that Norway did nothing to help bring about.

Easy for their King to say "no surrender" when safely esconsced in London with his family. But he, and every Norwegian (except Quisling) is subsequently endowed with great heroism during this shameful period.

This movie jointly produced with Ireland - another impotent place that could only remain "neutral" in WW2 because the Germans were kept at bay by British, American and Russian people, made of sterner stuff.
