Re: German secret projects in Norway

Thank you for your reply. More in depth information is found in this book:

Another boook: Atomversuche in Deutschland by Günter Nagel, reproduces the following:

Headquarters
European Theater of Operations
United States Army
Alsos Mission
APO 887

2 May 1945

Subject: Gerlach Summary of Nuclear Reports

"1. A new edition of 'forschungsberichte' was planned containing articles on successful pile experiments. Five articles in all were contemplated, and Gerlach wrote an introductory summary. We found this introductory summary in rough penciled form, which gives the status of the project as of January 1945."

Locations:

L II Leipzig II
CTR Chem. technische Reichsanstalt
G II Gottow II
G III Gottow III
B V Berlin Versuch


There is also this report:


"In an article for the June 29, 1945 issue of the Washington Post, a report that originated from 21st Army Group headquarters outlines the frightening discovery that awaited Allied military personnel who came to occupy Norway after the German forces there surrendered:
R.A.F. officers said today that the Germans had nearly completed preparations for bombing New York from a "colossal air field" near Oslo when the war ended.
"Forty giant bombers with a 7,000 mile range were found on this base - the largest Luftwaffe field I have ever seen,' one officer said."
