How to watch Blücher in Europe

Here’s everything you need to know about Battle of Oslo (Blücher), originally titled Blücher, a 2025 Norwegian historical war film starring Bjørn Sundquist, Andrea Berntzen, Jon Øigarden, and Øystein Røger that recreates the decisive stand at Oscarsborg Fortress during the German invasion of Norway.

Battle of Oslo (Blücher) Synopsis

Battle of Oslo (Blücher) is a 2025 historical war film that dramatizes the dramatic opening hours of the German invasion of Norway during World War II and the decisive stand at Oscarsborg Fortress.

Set in the early hours of April 9, 1940, the story follows Colonel Birger Eriksen, the commanding officer of the aging and severely undermanned Oscarsborg Fortress in the Oslofjord. As unidentified warships approach through heavy fog, Eriksen receives fragmented reports and realizes that Norway’s neutrality is about to be violently breached. With limited intelligence, outdated defenses, and no clear orders from higher command, he faces an irreversible decision that could either protect the capital or plunge the nation into disaster.

The film alternates between the intense night of combat, where Eriksen orders fire on the German cruiser Blücher, and the aftermath years later, when his actions are scrutinized by a military commission. This dual timeline explores not only the battlefield tension but also the personal and political consequences of command decisions made under extreme uncertainty. Through its grounded realism and moral focus, the film highlights how one moment of resolve altered the course of Norwegian history.
