The German occupation of Norway began on April 9, 1940, after German troops occupied the neutral Scandinavian country. It ended on May 8, 1945, following the surrender of German troops in Europe. Throughout this entire period, Norway was continuously occupied by the Wehrmacht.

Civil rule was de facto taken over by the Reichskommissariat Norwegen, which cooperated with a pro-German puppet government, while the Norwegian king and the legitimate government continued to operate in exile from London.
This period of military occupation is referred to in Norway as the “war years” or “occupation period”.
