PLACES AVAILABLE: Members only
About the event:
The Norwegian Campaign of 1940 was, on both sides, the first campaign where naval, air and land forces were used in equal synergy to achieve, or attempt to achieve, decisive effect. In his lecture, Professor Eric Grove will assess what light the campaign sheds on the capacity for joint operations at the outset of the Second World War and the influence of the campaign on the outcome. He will discuss:
- The reasons for involving Norway in the war;
- Why the Germans gained the advantage;
- The limits to German success;
- Why the Royal Navy was unable to assert decisive leverage to prevent the conquest of Norway;
- The negative results for Germany of an apparently successful campaign.
Professor Eric Grove is Professor of Naval History and Director of the Centre for International Security and War Studies at the University of Salford. He has held a number of senior academic positions and has taught at the Royal Naval College Dartmouth, the Royal Naval College Greenwich, the University of Cambridge and the University of Hull. In 1988, working with the Foundation for International Security, he founded the Russia-UK-US naval discussions and confidence building talks. He has published widely on naval, defence and security matters, past and present.
This event is open to all RUSI members.
An optional £10 sandwich lunch shall be available from 1215.
