Скачать или смотреть The Invasion No One Remembers: Iceland’s Forgotten Front of World War II

The Battle for Iceland — The Allies’ Silent Arctic Front (WW2 Documentary)
In May 1940, while Europe burned, a quiet invasion unfolded on the edge of the Arctic.
No shots fired. No resistance. Yet this single operation changed the course of the war.
This documentary uncovers the untold story of Operation Fork — when 746 British Royal Marines landed in neutral Iceland to secure a lifeline across the North Atlantic. It’s the story of Churchill’s calculated gamble, the birth of Iceland’s modern identity, and the silent front that saved Britain from starvation.
Through historical records, maps, and rare archival material, we retrace how a peaceful island became one of the most strategic locations in World War II — and why Hitler never dared to invade it.
