British Weak in Air

The German official news agency said, however, that a “great number” of British troop transports had been bombed in Norwegian waters today. Except north of Trondheim where the Allies were still landing and were reported to have at least 10,000 British and French soldiers at present, there was little evidence of British counter-attack in the air, The Stockholm newspaper Aftonbladet quoted the Norwegian commander on the Steinkjer front as saying a violent German attack is expected at any moment against the French-Norwegian positions. Aftonbladet asserted: that large German aircraft were extremely active on the Steinkjer front and that the Germans still held superiority in

| the air.

The German military operations were on five main fronts where the Nazi forces, led by airplanes, had spread out in the rough shape of a huge hand gripping the southern and central parts of Norway. The most important fighting appeared to be at Hjerkinn, where a bold German thrust through the mountains was being fought off by British and French troops after it had come within striking distance (Continued on Page Three)
