German Charge Of Allied Post To Hit Balkans
Berlin reports claim Allies ready for ordered action in the near east around May 15 based on a telephone talk between Chamberlain and Reynaud, which London denies as fantastic and French say contains lies. German forces announce bombers hit a British cruiser and a Sunderland near Narvik, with Allied flights over Helgoland Bight repulsed and a submarine sunk in the Skagerrak as Mosjoen falls toward Narvik. A German drive from Namdalen toward Narvik advances about a third of the 300 miles, indicating containment of Allied detachments.
