Re: Breach of international rules of war?

Hihotte: Altmark was breaking the rules in the first place by carrying prisoners: they should have been released into Norwegian custody. However, this was not the reason Hitler invaded Norway. The iron ore supply from Sweden was vastly more important, and it was necessary to prevent an Allied invasion that would have cut the route.
