German Attempt To
s'Soften Up Sweden
With War Film
Failed In 1910

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 16. (By air.
maiD-The use of German war
film in an attempt to browbeat
Sweden into complete passivity at
the time of the invasion of Den
mark and Norway is the subject of
a recent editorial in Ny Militar
Tidskrift entitled "The Problem of
the Military Void (this periodical
is the organ of younger group
in the Swedish officer corps) At
the beginning of April the Ger
mans had all the preparations
made for the invasion of Scan
dinavia, troopships destined for
Trondheim and Narvik having left
Swinemuende and Stettin April 4.
On Saturday, April 6 all the for
eign military attaches in Berlin
were invited to view a much pub
licized propaganda film. "Bap-
tism by Fire which was intend
ed to give the spectator an awe
some and overwhelming impress
sion of German military strength
The same evening this picture
was also shown at the German le-
cation in Stockholm, a number of
high Swedish military and civilian
personages having been invited.
The effect was rather spoiled here
though by the breakdown of the
protector, causing several of the
guests to comment, not without
pleasure, that even the German
military machine could miss fire.
Rapid Mobilization April 8
Had Its Effects on Wilhelmstrasse
The aim of the whole maneuver
was, however, quite plain, being
followed up by the German note
to the Swedish government deliv-
cred at 5 a. m. on April 9. The
tenor of the note was t h a it
would be completely useless to re-
sist the German armed forces, that
Germany expected Sweden to re-
frain from mobilizing and keep its
warships within the three mile linn
it. The rapidity with which Swed
en- did mobilize. however, had its
effects on the ~Wilhelmstrasse.
