PLANS FOR PROLONGED STAY
GERMAN HOSTELS IN NORWAY (British Official Wireless) RUGBY, 4th February. A German appeal for funds for building hostels for German soldiers in Norway is remarked upon by all the Berlin correspondents of neutral newspapers, according to Press messages from Zurich. The hostels are being erected from the far north t 6 Oslo. Hitler has spent 1,000.000 marks on them, and public societies have subscribed a further 3,000,000 marks, and more is to be raised by public collections. The goal aimed at is, in fact, 12,000,000 marks.
In view of Hitler’s twice-repeated solemn declaration that the war with Britain will be concluded this year, the erection of hostels on such a costly scale and —by implication—of such durability is considered to be evidence of Hitler’s intention not to withdraw his soldiers from Norway after the war. Alternatively, it may be that the Fuhrer envisages the possibility of a postponement of his victory celebrations.
