German forces occupied Denmark and began an offensive against Norway, landing German troops along the Norwegian coast. German sea and airborne forces occupied Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim, Stavanger, and Narvik in rapid fashion. German forces occupied Denmark without formal resistance. The British and French responded by dispatching troops to Norway, but German air power forced the Western allies to eventually withdraw their forces.
