1:00Now PlayingThe German occupation of Norway (1940-1945) witnessed an ambitious building campaign to align the nation with Hitler's vision of the New Order. From highways to maternity centers for a purified Nordic race, the Nazis aimed to create a model "Aryan" society. The projects reveal Hitler's ideological aspirations for the world under the swastika, emphasizing the importance of physical environments in shaping the racial community. Hitler, believing in Norwegians' racial superiority, sought to win them over through propaganda and incentives. New Trondheim, a grandiose project, exemplified the desire for a German cultural hub. While monumental projects existed, the occupiers often coopted existing environments, embedding Nazi values into everyday spaces. Exclusive German cultural centers reinforced the occupiers' separation as rulers, even as they promoted fraternization through the Lebensborn program. The Nazis also planned a superhighway to Trondheim to connect their European empire's peripheries. The occupation of Norway represented the Nazis' self-serving ideals of Nordic brotherhood and their vision of dominating conquered regions.
