Was Norway allies in World War 2?
Nowrway allied with The Allies after the end of the Phony War. Norway did not side with anyone but Jews did try to hide there that's why Norway got taken over by Germany.
Answer As a nation Norway sided with the Allies, although they were quickly overwhelmed by the Nazis, in part thanks to traitors known as Quislings (after their leader Vidkun Quisling, who was hanged after the war). Many Norwegians (including their king, who formed a government-in-exile) fled to Britain and fought on. Norway was invaded to secure the iron ore port of Narvik, and for airstrips closer to the northern parts of UK.
Norway I believe was on the allies side.

What clothing do norwegians wear?
People often seem to think that Norway is permafrozt - while it's not. Yes parts of Norway lies north of the nordic polar circle, but we still use regular clothes. Summers in Norway can sometimes in fact be warmer than in southern Europe.
Why our country is warm despite the fact that it's far up north has to do with hot sea streems.
thankyou
(Hope I covered your question)
Alternative Answer From a Non-NorwegianContrary to the answer above, as someone who has emigrated to Norway from the UK I would say that the Norwegians dress very differently from the people in Britain & some parts of USA. Norwegians dress "for the weather".Alot of Norwegians wear permeable jackets rather than smart coats and jackets. Mostly everyone wears jeans and the footwear of choice is something comfortable and water resistant. I have seen alot of converse being worn here and some of the women wearing funny looking black knee high welly boots with white shoe laces (have never seen these anywhere else in Europe). Girls in Norway tend to dress down on a night out (contrary to girls in UK, US). I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the lack of choice and variety as Norway does not have many high street fashion retailers or brand boutiques. This is one thing I am struggling with in this Country, the inability to find decent clothes shops like the rest of the world. It is hard to dress individually in Norway, but being a socialist country - I guess that's what they were hoping for.. Heads up - Don't expect to find the latest fashion here either.
Men on the other hand are slightly better dressed than their counterparts and their style is distinct from British men at least, in a cool, laid back Scandinavian way. Although in my opinion the Danish and Swedes are more polished. Expect alot of G-Star baggy jeans, bright t-shirts and beany hats.
In the workplace, casual attire is the norm and I have often seen people wear jeans, converse and hoodies to the office.. which is hard to get used to
Norway has nice summers (expect the same as in UK - 2 months if your lucky) but the rest of the year I would definitely recommend bringing something waterproof and warm, as it tends to be quite windy along the coast. Don't be afraid to bring your own style to Norway. Sometimes it is nice not to blend in.
I hope that is informative enough for you, best of luck on your journey!
