The article analyses the German requisition and quartering practices in Norway in the light of international law and traces their impact on everyday relations between the enemies. With an average of 350,000 soldiers stationed in Norway, the German demand for housing was enormous. Space became a highly coveted resource. It was both the object of power struggles and a reflection of those struggles. The German seizure of private property exacerbated the existing housing shortage and was thus very unpopular. Yet the fact that the Wehrmacht also paid good money for requisitioned private properties and, for the most part, followed ‘proper’ procedure fostered acceptance of the measures. Moreover, the spatial proximity with quartered soldiers inevitably led to frequent contacts between the enemies and resulted in a rapprochement. Many autobiographical accounts of Norwegians lauded the Wehrmacht soldiers’ ‘proper’ or ‘correct’ behaviour and described the relations between Norwegians and German soldiers during the war as harmonious. The Norwegian narratives of the German occupation are thus highly ambivalent, oscillating between a positive assessment of the ordinary soldier, and condemnation of the occupation and Nazi rule. This ambivalence, the article argues, was both the result of German requisition policy, aimed to win popular support, and of the felt need to justify the close contacts with the Germans.

“正确的德国行为？” 二战期间德国的征用做法及其对挪威社会的影响

文章根据国际法分析了德国在挪威的征用和驻扎做法，并追溯了它们对敌人之间日常关系的影响。平均有 350,000 名士兵驻扎在挪威，德国对住房的需求是巨大的。太空成为一种令人垂涎的资源。它既是权力斗争的对象，也是这些斗争的反映。德国没收私有财产加剧了现有的住房短缺，因此非常不受欢迎。然而，德国国防军也为征用的私人财产支付了高昂的费用，并且在大多数情况下遵循了“适当的”程序，这一事实促使人们接受了这些措施。此外，与驻扎士兵的空间接近不可避免地导致敌人之间的频繁接触并导致和解。许多挪威人的自传都称赞国防军士兵的“正确”或“正确”行为，并将挪威人和德国士兵在战争期间的关系描述为和谐。因此，挪威对德国占领的叙述是高度矛盾的，在对普通士兵的积极评价和对占领和纳粹统治的谴责之间摇摆不定。文章认为，这种矛盾心理既是德国征用政策的结果，旨在赢得民众的支持，也是出于需要证明与德国人密切接触的必要性。在对普通士兵的积极评价与对占领和纳粹统治的谴责之间摇摆不定。文章认为，这种矛盾心理既是德国征用政策的结果，旨在赢得民众的支持，也是出于需要证明与德国人密切接触的必要性。在对普通士兵的积极评价与对占领和纳粹统治的谴责之间摇摆不定。文章认为，这种矛盾心理既是德国征用政策的结果，旨在赢得民众的支持，也是出于需要证明与德国人密切接触的必要性。
