tested by the German loss of more

Germans Let Down
1t was stated in those same
orders that the Norwegian COM
mandant at Horton was pro-Ger-
man, a Knight of the German Or
der of Adler. Both during the
attack and later, the officer in
question proved to be an excep-
tionally good Norwegian.

one upon whom the Germans could
rely. Like most other Norwe-
gians, he let them down in the
end.
1t is also clear that the Ger
mans banked on the immediate
acceptance of their ultimatum by
the Norwegian Government and
on Norwegian cooperation against
Britain. They received some help
from the fifth column. but they
had overestimated the strength of
the Norwegian Nazis. They were
greatly surprised when only a
handful of Norwegian officers on
active duty turned up as Nazis

Document Shows Nazi Plan
For Occupation Of Norway

OSLO, Norway, July 1.-THE
Oslo newspaper Verdens Gang
has reproduced a German docu-
ment dated March 9, 1940-one
month before the invasion of Nor
way-outlining the plan for the
Norwegian adventure of the Ma
zis. This is the first documentary
evidence from German sources to
give a direct lie to the Nazi prop
uganda claim that the attack was
precipitated by British and French
minelaying along the Norwegian
coast in April, 1910.
The oil-splotched document re-
produced in Verdens Gang was
one of many in a packet found
near Holmsbo on the west shore
of Oslofjord few days after
the sinking of the German cruiser
Butcher by artillery fire from the
Oscarsborg fortress on the oppo-
site shore. Presumably it was
washed ashore from the wreckage.
Allied authorities have no doubt
about it's authenticity.
Troops Struggled In
The documents reveal that the
attack was planned in advance in
the most minute detail German
agents operating under every con-
ceivable guise everywhere in Nor
way helped with the preparations,
employing the meanest forms of
trickery to achieve their purpose
Supplies and troops were snug
gled into the chief ports we'll in
advance of the attack date, hid
den in the holds of innocent-ap-
pearing merchant ships.
1t was this treacherous device,
the use of which has been ques-
toned even by many we'll
informed Norwegians until now,
that enabled the Germans to
occupy Oslo, Kristiansand, Aren-
dial, Egersund, Stavanger, Bergen,
Trondheim and Narvik within -
hours after the attack began 1t
also enabled them to take over all
flying fields in southern Norway
easily and quickly and secure con-
troll of the rail communications
with Sweden.
Fleet Units Assembled
Hours after the German inva-
sion was actually under way. Nor
wegian newspapers appeared with
headlines screa am ing protest
against British and French mine
laying.
The documents definitely prove
that German orders had been is
sued and German fleet units and
transports were already assembled
off their detectives or steaming
toward them at the instant the
minelaying started.
From the evidence now avail
able it is clear that the Germans
reckoned on two factors to achieve
their purpose: First, they would
come as a complete surprise: sec
ond, they would meet little or no
resistance.
On the first count their assump-
ton proved correct. But as the
world now knows, Hitler and his
advisers made a basic miscalcula-
