Nazis hi»? British raid In Norway

BERLIN, hlarcs. 4 —-(AP) —D. N. B.. t.:c German ‘news and propu- ganda agency claimed tonight that light British naval force landed at an uiidesignatcd island off Northern Norway today and took a number of German and Norwegian prisoners.

Subsequently D. N. B. claimed the Biltisli forces "withdrew."

The agency said the British for- ces bombarded the iland which it claimed was “unfortified" and said that several fishing vessels were sunk. Troops were landed for ii quick foray, D. N. B claimed.

(There was no immediate con- flrmatlon of the Nazi claim in Lon- don. but it wai recalled that such raids had been carried out by the Royal Navy along coastal France last year.)

The number of German and Nor-

wegian prisoners taken was not a . The Britt h withdrawal was de- scribed as hasty, and it. was claim- ed that their ships immediately left Norwegian waters.

The action. D. N. B.. contended. was of “no military mine and mere- ly intended for reasons of pro- 988N161."
