@Graham, it seems that you read my posting the way it suits you. Of course the Nazis occupied Norway, next to other reasons, because they needed a safe way to get the iron ore from Sweden safe into the Reich. But the official statement of Herr Goebbels was the Altmarck affair. Even Raymond Cartier states this fact in his "History of WW II". Everyone was aware that this pretence was foolish, but as I wrote, the Nazis used it as
an excuse.
