The Nazi communique revealed that the most severe fighting was raging in the Dombaas-Stoeren area instead of at Trondheim, as announced in last night's communique.
The German command, however, continued to conceal the actual conditions in the Dombaas region aside from admitting that fighting was still continuing. Meanwhile, military observers here, basing their opinions on official German repens, said the n Germans would apparently attempt to hold Dombaas and contline on to Andalsnes, where the British are landing reinforcements.
Nazi forces advancing north from Oslo and south from Trondheim have apparently established contact, they said. The Germans seemed to have skirted Stoeren and were moving through Leokken and Berkak after meeting detachments pushing northwestward from Tynset and Ulsberg. The German junction was made somewhere between Ulsberg and Berkak, observers believed.
According to official Nazi reports, Opdal is now in German hands. There were no details of present operations since the fighting apparently has not yet taken a decisive turn, it was pointed out. Offcial German communiques have not y mentioned whether German tw captured Stoeren or merely swept around it. The German high ce mand also has thus far neither confirmed nor denied Norwegian repens that German forces retired from Roeros before a small Allied force.—
