GRIM RECORD
OF NAZI ATROCITIES IN NORWAY SWEDISH GOVERNMENT TRIES TO HIDE FACTS. NEWSPAPERS CLOSED DOWN. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, March 16. The revelations of German atrocities in Norway which resulted in'the banning of 17 Swedish newspapers which published them form one of the grimmest chapters in the black record of German brutality. Eyewitnesses or victims who escaped to Sweden, says the "Daily Mail," vouched for the authenticity of the revelations. These, were based on statements sworn before a judge in Stockholm which are now in the possession of the Norwegian Government in London and also a pamphlet published in Stockholm giving a circumstantial account of the atrocities. The leading provincial Swedish journal, “Eskilstuna-Kuriren,” today defied the authorities and attacked the Minister of Justice for closing down the newspapers. The "Eskilstuna-Kurinen” stated: "Norway and its fighting people are suffering martyrs and must not be abandoned. Rather may the Minister of Justice, who is acting against the conscience of his people, be sacrificed.”
