GERMAN LOSSES IN NORWAY
60,000 MEN ON LAND AND SEA (BRITISH OFFICIAL WIBELIB3.) ' RUGBY, December 12, Speaking at Dundee to-night, Dr. H. Koht, the Norwegian Foreign Minister, said that during the Norwegian campaign 30,000 German soldiers fell on Norwegian soil, and another 30,000 Germans met their death at sea. It seemed almost incredible that against such large German losses the Norwegian losses were only 1500 men on land and 500 at sea. He attributed this to the superior Norwegian marksmanship. The war in Norway was not yet finished, he added. His people would keep up their resistance as long as Germans were living in the country. Passive resistance was going on in all parts of Norway, even among boys and girls in the schools.
