Lord Haw-Haw reports on Germany's invasion and occupation of Denmark and Norway. The German ambassador in Norway proclaimed that resistance would be senseless. This propaganda was broadcast by Haw-Haw on Nazi radio. It was received, recorded and transcribed by Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Monitoring.
The invasion of Denmark and Norway on 9 April 1940 was seen as a turning point in the war, when the so-called Phoney War ended and real warfare began. Shortly afterwards, on 10 May, Germany invaded France, Belgium and the Netherlands, and Western Europe experienced Blitzkrieg, or "lightning war". It was also the day Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain resigned and Winston Churchill came to power.
Recorded on 9 April 1940.
