FIGHT FOR NARVIK
SOME HINTS OF GERMAN WITHDRAWAL
BUT REINFORCEMENTS STILL BEING SENT. WORK OF NORWEGIAN PATROLS. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day. 12.40 p.m.) LONDON, May 9. German sources are hinting at a withdrawal from Narvik and consolidation of a defence line at Mosjon, pointing out that Narvik is not important strategically and that the Germans could blow up the railway to Sweden and the docks, necessitating years for repairs. Nevertheless air transports continue to stream north, landing forces by parachute north and north-east of Narvik", for the purpose of taking the Norwegian forces from the rear. A Norwegian patrol wiped out a German party placing dynamite in a tunnel on the railway to Sweden. German bombers continue to strafe the Norwegian and Allied lines. Small British air units are also operating.
