In 1940 the Germans needed to invade Norway. Operation Weserubung was necessary to prevent the British from occupying Norway, Narvik was an important port for the supply of Swedish iron ore the Germans needed. It is ice free in winter, wheras the Baltic is frozen. Denmark was between Germany & Norway & was occupied. Denmark was also needed to supply food for Germany.
