"all regiments were in the 1st Company" i am no expert but I always thought a company is smaller than a regiment? 46.15.119.11 ( talk) 18:58, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
The article states that "Furthermore, attacks on Norwegian power stations, which supplied the country with 49% of its power, might drive the Axis powers out of the country and give the Allies a direct link to Russia.” Norway only supplied 49% of its own power?
I assume “the country” here is Norway. That could benefit from some gentle disambiguation.
Is this what the cited source says? (For convenience, that source is Nadler, John (2005). A Perfect Hell. Canada: Anchor Canada. p. 28. ISBN 978-0-385-66141-6.)
Or might the source refer to a particular subset of Norwegian power stations, e.g. hydroelectric plants?
There’s been more than enough time for change, but this is strikingly different from the current situation reported here ( Energy in Norway), in which 99% of Norway’s electricity is hydroelectric, and Norway is a net exporter.

Here is the quote from Nadler, "...Pyke's plan to neutralize Norway as an "economic asset" to the Germans by unleashing snow commandos and their armor against the fourteen (14) Norwegian electric power stations that generated 49 percent of the country's power." Tennisedu ( talk) 16:01, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
A quick question, when the france campaign starts for the forcemen, it mentions the force is brought up to 2,000 men by recruitment, where are these recruits coming from? Are they rangers or 10th Mountain? Or are they men who went through the same process as the other forcemen but much later, I dont think they'd let some random GI Joe into an elite alpine unit with no special forces training, would love to find an answer.
