I think Chruchill was sorta fascinated by the thought of invasion in Norway around 1942. There was a plan for an operation of taking the North Norway in order to protect the supply route to Murmansk. Anyway, it never went far.

I think sending troops to Norway might be a bit useless ( unless other motives come up ) as there would be no straight contact to Germany to continue the attack.Except of course if the idea is to cut the German attack to Murmansk and perhaps create a second front wiht Finland.Of course there would be mostly German troops in Lapland as the Finnish alone could hold on for two fronts so wide apart for about 15 minutes, I think.

Interesting idea, anyway. Maybe others have different thoughts/strategy?
