Invasion Reported Feared By Nazi Army In Norway
Stocksholm reports feverish German activity pointing to a growing invasion complex in Norway. Norwegians, aided by Allied successes, push an active campaign to undermine German morale. Coastal security measures tighten shipping control, with Masara and Talgia Fjords closed to sea traffic. Norwegian advisories note reinforcements to Finnmark and Russian submarines active off northern Norway. Barbed wire lines expand defense zones and north wharves show heavy German vessel damage. The invasion threat and nightly Arctic isolation are cited as morale factors. Daily Express notes German airfields near the channel coast abandoned. Canadian forces may see action soon says Lieutenant General McNaughton.
