    • Trivia
      The release of the movie was postponed for two years. First due to the 2019 Corona virus, and later on due to the war in Ukraine in 2022. The Covid pandemic delayed filming. And the producers didn't want to release a war movie, just as the war broke out in Ukraine. The filming of the movie was finished in 2021.

    Hitler's first defeat
    "Kampen om Narvik - Hitler's første nederlag" (in English: The Battle of Narvik - Hitler's first defeat") directed by Erik Skjoldbjærg had a hard time reaching the cinemas, two years after first planned premiere,due to covid and then the eruption of the Ukraine war, but when it finally did it does to full houses across Norway.

    The plot follows a soldier, Gunnar, and his family during the outbreak of the war, and the freeing of Narvik, a battle which kept going for 40 days, and we can feel the difficulties of war, with his wife obliged to help as a German translator.

    The film is superbly filmed in locations Narvik, Drammen and Rjukan, and the sound is awesome.. the story manages to grip on several levels, and I found it both interesting and good, telling me history I didn't know about from before.

    Another good Norwegian war movie, well worth a view.
