PREPARED FOR MONTHS
German Invasion IRREFUTABLE PROOF CLAIMED Norwegians’ Position By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. STOCKHOLM, April 29. The Speaker of the Norwegian Parliament, Mr. Hambro, in an interview, said : “We have irrefutable proof that the Germans had prepared detailed plans , for the invasion of Norway months ago. We would be in a better position today if Britain had had embarkation parties ready and if the Allied intelligence officers, who were aware of the German preparations, had warned us previously. “Our Legation in Berlin had proof of the sailing of German parties a week before the invasion. The staff of the Legation knew for some weeks that German troops were embarking at various German ports, but they did not believe that the troops were intended for Norway. The fact that the Allies liad not informed Norway of the German intentions shows that they regarded Norway as absolutely neutral and not prepared to be an ally.”
