Norway Accepts Armistice as Allies Retreat From Narvik

Norwegian central command asked Germany for an armistice, accusing the Allies of vague retreat tactics. The Norwegian government fled into the north as British French and Norwegian troops battled a German force around Narvik. Reports said British ships bombarded Narvik to cover French alpine units ready to clear Nazi nests, with Allied aims to seize Narvik as a base. Evidence suggested some Allied troops landed at other ports, while Norwegian guerrilla action continued and a small force ambushed a German detachment south of Borås, killing 115 and taking prisoners.
