The Namsos Campaign in Norway, was fought between Anglo-French/Norwegian forces, and German forces. After heavy fighting, the German forces took the upper hand, and the decision was made to evacuate. A convoy of destroyers under the command of Lord Louis Mountbatten, was sent from Scapa Flow to rescue the allied troops.
