Brian Sanders (British, B. 1937) "Invasion of Norway" Oil on Canvas Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting originally appeared on the Republic of the Marshall Islands 25c Invasion of Norway 1940 stamp issued April 9, 1990. At first glance, Norway would hardly seem worth the attention of World War II's powerful rivals. Still, this Scandinavian country, along with Denmark, rated high in the plans of Adolf Hitler, and by extension, Winston Churchill. Hitler saw in Norway a perfect base for raids against England and a pipeline for raw materials imported from Sweden. The Germans attacked on the morning of April 9, 1940, and although the Norwegians and their allies fought valiantly to repel the Nazis and protect the country, Hitler's attack squelched the resistance and forced Norway into the oppressive stranglehold of Germany's powerful embrace. Like Denmark, the country would remain occupied until 1945. Image Size: 15.25 x 18.25 in. Overall Size: 16 x 18.5 in. Unframed. (B12352)
