CRACK TROOPS
USED BY THE GERMANS IN NORWAY IN HUNT FOR BRITISH PARATROOPS. SIGNS OF INCREASING NERVOUSNESS. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 11 a.m.) LONDON, April 6. Crack German Alpinists and Storm Troops are searching the Hardanger Plateau, in Norway, where British paratroops earlier were reported to have established headquarters. A British United Press correspondent at Stockholm says the Germans are especially nervous after recent unexplained explosions. Two companies at one point surrounded a group of mountain huts where they expected to meet stronglyarmed Allied agents. They then called up two dive-bombers from Oslo, which" blew the huts to pieces and the troops, closing in, found they had been occupied only by two peasants. The Germans are drasticaly tightening up frontier regulations and reinforcing frontier guards, making it even more difficult for Norwegians to escape to Sweden. They have also reminded Norwegians that relatives of persons leaving the country will be imprisoned.
