There Is no particular reason for
Hitler 70 invade Sweden at this
Juncture unless he really fears an
allied invasion or plans to invade
England. II may be that Hitler
wants to solidify his position in
Norway because he expects TO be
busy this summer in Southeastern
Europe and Russia and fears that
Britain viii take advantage of his
preoccupation to attack him from
the rear.
Norway Key Base
Britain has good reason for at
tempting TO invade Norway II
there IL any prospect of success.
One reason Is Norways position
athwart the line of supplies 10
Russia. Norway provides excellent
bases from which Hitler's subma-
rines can harry allied shipping.
Moreover. Germany's super-bat-
tlcship Tirpitz is in Norway and
is believed to be supported by
other formidable units of the Ger
man navy. These may include the
pocket battleship Admiral Scheer.
The cruiser Admiral Hipper and
the aircraft carrier Hindenbure.
Germany has at least six other
cruisers and numerous destroyers.
Grave Allied Threat

threat not only TO allied shipping
