"As I have stated before Terboven has taken over the estate at Skaugum belonging to Crown Prince Dav of Norway, Recently a construction firm in Oslo built a large tennis hall at this temporary residence of Terhoven. The guests he entertains at Skaugum are mostly Germans, but on various occasions he has tried to invite Norwegians, outside the National Union but with very poor results, During Goebbels' visit to Oslo no less than 300 guests were invited, but so few put in an appearance that Goebbels who of course knew about the elaborate arrangements became very annoyed and left the scene early in the evening, In a hurry the gala banquet was converted into an ordinary buffet supper. Amongst those invited was a well-known Norwegian actress who in reply to the invitation wrote: "It is not my habit to attend parties in homes where the host and hostess are absent."

"Not long ago 'Tiny-Goebbels-Lunde' addressd a meeting of teachers in Stavanger, but there was such a noise during the meeting that it was almost impossbile.to hear the voice of the speaker. Despite this "Tiny-Goebbels' wes in an unusually polite mood end after he concluded his fight of oratory' he most graviously thanked the teachers for their presence. Immediately from sompwhere a voice wes heard to say: "You don't need to thank us for that.

You know darn well that we were compelled to come."
