Thanks to German reinforcements, the British advance
on Narvik was pushed back into the sea. However,
the British made advances into Norway, eventually getting
to the border with Sweden and cutting German forces
in Northern Norway from the supply lines in Southern
Norway. While the British advanced north, the Germans
attacked from the south to try to reconnect their forces.
Meanwhile, the German navy was sustaining heavy
damage from the British. Though the Royal Navy
was also hit hard by the Luftwaffe, the Kriegsmarine
was undeniably much weaker, and plans for a
naval invasion of Britain after conquering France were scrapped.
