Norwegian units push west as German lines fall back
Stockholm May 2 Norwegian troops aided by foreign volunteers move west from the Swedish frontier and south along the Glomma valley as German forces retreat to protect supply lines in central Norway. Roros and Tynset fall under Norwegian control, complicating German links between Oslo and Trondheim amid allied pressure. In Washington, War Secretary Woodring buys a farm near Lecompton, Kansas, planning eventual expansion to 900 acres and remodeling a 19 room stone house once owned by Governor Stanton. He says the move has no political significance and intends to return to Kansas in 1941.
