German WWII Book "Deutsche Flieger ueber Norwegen" by Herbert Muellenbach

A softcover wartime publication titled "Deutsche Flieger ueber Norwegen" ("German Airmen over Norway"), written by Herbert Muellenbach and published by C. Bertelsmann Verlag, Guetersloh. The cover artwork depicts a Luftwaffe dive bomber marked with a Balkenkreuz descending over a coastal battle scene with warships, aircraft, and burning fortifications, illustrating the German campaign in Norway.

The title recounts the operations of German air units supporting the 1940 invasion and occupation of Norway, a subject frequently covered in wartime propaganda literature published for the home front.

This book belongs to the genre of Luftwaffe-focused wartime literature produced during the Second World War to commemorate and publicise the Wehrmacht's campaigns for a domestic readership. Operation Weseruebung, launched in April 1940, saw German air, sea, and land forces invade Norway and Denmark, with the Luftwaffe playing a decisive role in supporting naval operations, countering British intervention forces, and securing airfields and ports along the Norwegian coast. Publishers such as C. Bertelsmann Verlag issued numerous such titles glorifying individual campaigns as part of the broader Nazi propaganda effort to sustain public morale and support for the war.
