Reichskommissariat Norwegen is an Autonomous Reichskommissariat of the Greater Germanic Reich founded in April 1940, just after the capitulation of the Kingdom of Norway. Although the German occupation was meant to be a temporary measure, with eventual turnover of control to the local collaboration government, German occupation forces never left. Led by Reichskommisar Josef Terboven, Norwegen is an important Reichskommissariat for the Reich.
