MURMANSK ROUTE
GERMANS MAY ATTEMPT TO CUT IT MOVEMENT OF WARSHIPS TO TRONDHEIM. INCREASING BRITISH AIR ACTIVITY. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.25 p.m.) LONDON, February 24. It believed that the Germans intend to attempt to cut the British supply line to Murmansk. This is supported by reports that the warships Admiral Tirpitz, Admiral Scheer and Admiral Hipper are on their way to Trondheim. Increasing activity by British reconnaissance planes on the Norwegian coast is worrying the Air alarms at Trondheim have become so common that the Nazi newspapers no longer mention them. The Germans report frequently that Allied submarines and surface craft have been seen along the Norwegian coast, particularly around Kirkenes, where Russian naval units are reported to be almost constantly on patrol. The German Admiral Groos states that a British invasion of Northern Norway or Petsamo would be suicidal.
