Compared to many other parts of Europe, we in Norway got true the war with less pain than most nations... yes we got bombed, yes we got murdered, and yes, we also got a whole part of our country burnt to the ground (Finnmark and Nord-Troms) but compared to many other parts of the world, we got true it intact... And for the most part the germans who was here "loved" to be here, mostly because the civilians treated them with respect, and them self was under order of treating the civilians correct, as long as we doesn't did anything to harm them.. As the war progressed it got worse - but for the most part at least we survived intact.

But of course, compared to what was the case in US under world war two, everything was cramped, and we was also pretty poor, and the whole country was rather damaged by the end of the war... But I belive we would have survived with a couple of your ancestors too
