Britain and the US in Scandinavia and the Balkans, 1942-1945

Collection: Secrecy, Sabotage, and Aiding the Resistance: How Anglo-American Cooperation Shaped World War II    Volumes    Britain and the US in Scandinavia and the Balkans, 1942-1945
The Scandinavian records in this group focus on Norway, Denmark and Sweden. The focus in these hostile countries was to undermine their defence through sabotage and psychological warfare. In the Balkans, operations focused on Albania and Yugoslavia. At that time, Yugoslavia included the countries now known as Croatia, Slovenia, Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Serbia, and Kosovo. Most of these papers are intelligence reports on the politics of Yugoslavia. These reports also explore different groups' views on what should happen to King Peter II of Yugoslavia after the war.
