The Independent Norwegian Brigade Group in Germany (Norwegian: Tysklandsbrigaden, 'the Germany Brigade') was a Norwegian expeditionary force stationed in the British zone of Allied-occupied Germany, from 1946 to 1953. At first it was based in the Hanover area and from 1948 to 1953 in the Schleswig-Holstein area of Germany as part of the British occupying force after World War II.
