All the time no american soldier was on Norwegian soil way after World War two The first few ones came in 1947 - and one of them was arrested for possession of drug - but was not fined or put in a prison because no one wanted it to came out - he was released and put on the first ship out of Norway.. It was the British who was responsible for sending the germans back home - and to make sure military equipment was destroyed after world war two - between May 1945 and October 1945 it was the british who "ruled"- Norway - and also raped more woman in that time frame - than Germans did with 450.000 in 5 year but I guess it was the spoil of war and all that.

And by the way - It was not all of Scandinavia who was occupied by the Germans - Sweden managed rather well to keep itself out of the war - and was playing both sides for the whole war - sympatic to the germans when it looked like German was the ones winning the war - but after Stalingrad in 1943 (You know that city who bar the name of Stalin, and who was Whermacts most devestating blow as the city fall to the Soviets after first have been bombed back to the stone age by the Luftwaffe - mostly overrun by the Whermact - and then insircled by the russians - and then won back from the germans when the Soviets was starving them out to give it up again... But Denmark and Norway was occupied by germany between 1940-1945.

I guess we could be less gratefully than we have acted the last 70 year when it came to World War two - who by the way was won not just by the US - It was at least a few other nations in that war who was fighting for the "right" side of history... And I would guess at least a few millions europeans who was involved in overthrowing nazi-Germany in their ways - everything from making jokes to blow up things....

But yeah - I guess US singlehandedly won the war - as many americans have learned from young age - and that most of Europe was just sitting on their hands and was not doing anything to save their own asses - I guess in the ayes of many americans even the british was not doing to much fighting the Nazism - even if they had been fighting for two full years before the US got involved in the war - when the Imperial Japanese Naval forces was attacking Pearl Habour... If Japan had not been attacking Pearl Harbor I guess FDR would have had a lot harder time convincing americans it was just to fight against Hitler in Europe - after all a few weeks before the war started in 1941 - many powerfully americans was telling that US had no interest in that war who was ravaging in Europe - and the best US could do was to keep itself out of the fry...
