      You left out that most northern Norwegian island. Very important strategic position, should have added it smh.

      Not included: Svalbard Islands. The local garrison (made of a bunch of military meteorologists) was the last german unit to officially surrender in WW2. They were rescued by a norwegian cargo a few weeks after the end of the war

      What’s up with those Greek islands? Why weren’t they conquered by the allies

      Cool map. You can see that the northern Netherlands was still occupied. The Nazis had flooded large parts of it to help defend their positions from the Allies. As a result, there was a famine (Hongerwinter) in urban Netherlands and something like 20,000 Dutch died from hunger. It is a very rare example of a famine in an advanced economy in the mid-20th century.

      Interestingly, the lack of wheat and bread helped people with celiac disease and this was noted by medical doctors, which advanced research into diets for people with celiac.
