| | Faroe Islands - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Faroe Islands are an island group consisting of 18 islands, off the coast of Northern Europe, between the Norwegian Sea and the north Atlantic Ocean, about one-half of the way from Iceland to Norway. | | | This action was taken to avert a possible German occupation of the islands, which would have had very grave consequences for the course of the Battle of the Atlantic. | | | On April 12, 1940, the Faroes were occupied by British troops following the invasion of Denmark by Nazi Germany. |
