ABSTRACT With Nazi Germany’s aggressive expansion, millions of Europeans were forced under German rule. Although the worlds of the occupier and the occupied overlapped in multiple ways, the everyday interactions between members of opposing sides of the conflict have received little scholarly attention. Using German-occupied Norway as a case study, this article explores the manifold relations between German soldiers and civilians during the Second World War. It argues that the asymmetry of power was not stable but constantly shifting as a result of these encounters. Based on an analysis of German military court records, the article identifies crimes and spaces as nodes where these worlds converged. First, using crimes as a lens, it explores how people on both sides responded to the constraints and opportunities the occupation produced. Secondly, it illustrates how space became the real and symbolic battleground in the struggle for power, and how the spatial norms inscribed in public, private and work spaces shaped these interactions. Since concepts of ‘resistance’ and ‘collaboration’ are inadequate to make sense of the complex reality of occupation, the article proposes the categories of conflict, cooperation and solidarity to analyse the diverse social relations between the occupier and the occupied.

相遇的空间：第二次世界大战期间挪威占领者与被占领者之间的关系

摘要 随着纳粹德国的侵略扩张，数百万欧洲人被迫接受德国统治。尽管占领者和被占领者的世界以多种方式重叠，但冲突双方成员之间的日常互动很少受到学术关注。本文以德国占领的挪威作为案例研究，探讨了二战期间德国士兵与平民之间的多方面关系。它认为权力的不对称并不稳定，而是由于这些遭遇而不断变化。根据对德国军事法庭记录的分析，文章将犯罪和空间确定为这些世界交汇的节点。首先，以犯罪为视角，探讨双方的人们如何应对占领所产生的限制和机会。第二，它说明了空间如何成为权力斗争中真实和象征性的战场，以及铭刻在公共、私人和工作空间中的空间规范如何塑造这些互动。由于“抵抗”和“合作”的概念不足以理解占领的复杂现实，本文提出冲突、合作和团结的类别来分析占领者与被占领者之间的各种社会关系。
