The Germans were reporfe ed today to have sounded an = invasion alert along the whole Norwegian coast, coinciding with rising disorders in axis«
dominated Europe. Norwegian government circles in London reported the Germans had placed the entire coast of Norway on the alert. A state of emergency was declared for the vital Tronds heim area and adjacent regions in Troendelag and Nordland provinces in order to prevent a revolt, it was said. The coastal alarm, Norwegian sources said, was declared because of the spread of sabotage in the region, particularly attacks and wrecking attempts against German troop trains. The Germans were said, to have sent additional troops into key arenas ‘and to be making mass arrests in an effort to ferret out the leaders,
