From Wikipedia
"After the victorious battle for Narvik in 1940, Bertelsmann published Busch'sbook. It was a work of "true war reportage" and had a foreword by Grand Admiral Erich Raeder.
Busch's book on Narvik resonated with the trade press and after only a year 200,000 pieces were sold. It reached 17th place on the list of bestsellers of the Third Reich compiled in 2010 .
According to Christian Adam, "Thewar portrayed in the book from the commander's perspective is 'clean,' death and suffering are ignored, and the atrocities committed by the English navy on German survivors are emphasized. The book was a propaganda success, which had the desired effect of inspiring young men to go to war."
