the rapid acceleration in American production of fighting 'planes forced Hitler to abandon his plans for a long war of attrition, which he believed he could eventually win, and risk all on such a daring exploit as the invasion of Norway. There can be no doubt that by opening up a new arena of conflict Hitler gave to the British and French navies and armies the best opportunity they have yet had to strike against Germany."— Atlanta Constitution (U.S.A.).

Despite strenuous efforts with various arms, British tonnage destroyed is so insignificant that the threat has completely disappeared. . . . 'The relative inaction of German submarines during the Norwegian crisis proves that their flotillas have suffered heavy losses which have not been made good."—XXme Siecle (Belgium).
