The Oslo Report<br>
PRO ADM 1/23905<br>
<br>

The Oslo Report should be studied in its German original. For example, it is important for understanding it that the original has 'April 40' in the first paragraph, where the English translation is 'April 1940'. In the original, the ambiguity to May 10 (cp. also the 'maiden' in paragraph 2) is probably of vital importance for understanding the report, but the translator has suppressed such vital details. Another detail of large importance is the one and only source there is specified in this report: That is Bell System. Techn. Journal Jan.39. p.222. Since this report, the original German form Bell Syst. Tech. J. Jan.39. p.222 has come to be somewhat synonymous with 'the source of political power', but only in its German original, not in the English translation. Cp. the '222' related to the Eisenhower doctrine. Similarly, towards the end of the report, there is the line "The fuses are made at Sommerden in Thüringen", which does not render the meaning of the German original "Diese Zünder werden in Soemmerda in Thüringen [hergestellt]", which to a Norwegian ear echos very much the book title "Syndere i sommersol" by Sigurd Hoel, which was a wellknown novel at that time. That name of Sigurd Hoel towards the very end of the report means only "[ass]hole from the security service", which again probably means 'the norses are assholes', which again means 'XU'. The last word is "Rheinmetall", which probably is the reason for the name of "Aktion Reinhard". The numbers 25 and 25.000 a few lines before probably refer to the 25 pound ransom put on Winston Churchill's head after he escaped from Boer war prison and the 25.000 NOK which Bjarne Eidsvig paid for Visthouse and which he paid in oysters rather than in cash. These are the matters that lurks under the surface of the 'report', like a torpedo lurking under the surface of the sea. The report was probably written by British intelligence and sent to themselves via their own British naval attache in Oslo, not the least to tell that it was the British navy who sank their own 'Royal Oak', but also to install this as a divine fact, via the Madonna and the birth of the Jesus child, which means that it was about the Worship. The report is written in that style and almost all of that is lost in the translation. </p><p align="justify">


The lines in this transcription correspond exactly to the lines in the typed document. I have even tried to keep the spacing roughly the same. There is the interesting indentation of all of paragraph 10 ('Arvid Storsveen', as is my interpretation), and two paragraphs under 3 are also indented. I would not say that 6, 7 and 8 really are indented: They rather have their numerals displaced to the left of the margin. I have skipped that element in my transcription. </p><p align="justify">

   <u>TRANSLATION FROM THE GERMAN</u><br>
<br>
<br>
1. <u>THE JU 88 PROGRAMME</u><br>
<br>
    Ju 88 is a twin engined long distance<br>
bomber and has the advantage that it can be used as<br>
a dive bomber.   Several thousand, probably 5000, are<br>
being manufactured monthly.  By April 1940 25 - 30.000<br>
of this type are to be ready.<br>
<br>
2. <u>THE "FRANKEN"</u><br>
<br>
                   The first German aircraft carrier is at <br>
Kiel.  She is to be ready by April 1940 and is called<br>
the "Franken".     <br>
     <br>
3. <u>REMOTE CONTROLLED GLIDERS</u>     <br>
     <br>
		     The Navy is developing remote controlled     <br>
gliders, i.e. small aeroplanes with a span of about     <br>
three metres and three metres in length, carrying a     <br>
heavy explosive charge.   They are not driven by      <br>
motors and are dropped from aeroplanes from a great     <br>
height.     They contain: -     <br>
     <br>
	  a)	  An electric altimeter, similar to the     <br>
		  wireless altimeter (Bell System.   Techn.     <br>
		  Journal Jan.39. p.222) which causes the     <br>
		  glider to straighten out about three metres     <br>
		  above the water.   Then it flies horizont-     <br>
		  ally powered by rockets.     <br>
     <br>
	  b)	  A remote controlled steering gear actuated     <br>
		  by ultra-short waves in the form of tele-     <br>
		  graph signals, by which the glider can be     <br>
		  steered to the left or to the right or     <br>
		  straight ahead either from a ship or an     <br>
		  aeroplane.     <br>
     <br>
		  In this way the glider is intended to be     <br>
steered against the side of an enemy ship and the      <br>
explosive charge dropped to as to explode below the     <br>
water line.   The secret number is FZ 21 (Ferngest.      <br>
Flugzeug = remote controlled air-plane).   The testing     <br>
grounds are in Peenmünde, at the estuary of the Peene,     <br>
near Wolgast, in the neighbourhood of Greifswald.     <br>
     <br>
4.	<u>AUTOPILOT</u>     <br>
     <br>
	Bearing the secret number FZ 10 an autopilot     <br>
(remote controlled aeroplane) is being developed     <br>
which can be controlled from a manned aeroplane,     <br>
for example to destroy balloon barrages.   The works     <br>
are in Deepensee near Berlin.      <br>
     <br>
5.	<u>REMOTE ONTROLLED PROJECTILES</u>     <br>
     <br>
	The Army Ordinance Office (HWA) which is the     <br>
experimental department of the army, is engaged upon     <br>
the development of projectiles of 80 cm.calibre.     <br>
In them a rocket drive is used, they are steadied by     <br>
a built-in gyroscope.   The difficulty in a rocket     <br>
drive lies in the fact that the projectile does not     <br>
fly along a straight course but in uncontrollable     <br>
curves.   Therefore it has a wireless remote control     <br>
with which the firing of the explosive in the rocket     <br>
is regulated.     This development is in an elementary     <br>
stage and the 80 cm.projectiles are intended for     <br>
future use against the Maginot line.      <br>
     <br>
6. <u>RECHLIN</u>     <br>
     <br>
 	 This is a small place on the Müritz Lake      <br>
(Müritzsee) to the north of Berlin.  Here is the     <br>
laboratory and experimental station of the air force.     <br>
A useful target for bombers.     <br>
     <br>
7. <u>METHOD OF ATTACK ON STRONG POINTS</u> (BUNKER)     <br>
     <br>
	  Experience in the field against the Poles has     <br>
shown that an ordinary attack on strong points does     <br>
not meet with success.   Polish strong points were     <br>
therefore enveloped in a smoke screen from smoke shells     <br>
(Gasgranaten) in such a way that the smoke screen was     <br>
carried like a curtain further and further into the     <br>
strong points.    Directly behind the smoke German     <br>
flame throwers advanced and took up positions in front     <br>
of the strong points.   The strong points proved     <br>
powerless against the flame throwers and the garrison     <br>
either perished or were made prisoners.      <br>
     <br>
8. <u>AEROPLANE DETECTORS</u>     <br>
     <br>
	    In the attack of the British fliers on     <br>
Wilhelmshafen at the beginning of September the     <br>
English aeroplanes were detected when still 120 Km.     <br>
from the German coast.   Along the whole coast of     <br>
Germanyshort wave transmitters with an output of 20 Kw.     <br>
are placed, which send out quite short impulses at     <br>
10-5 second intervals.  These impulses are reflected      <br>
by the aeroplanes.    Near the transmitter is a wireless     <br>
receiver tuned in on the same wavelenght.   It is here     <br>
that the reflected wave is picked up and registered on     <br>
a "Braun" valve.      By the difference between the      <br>
transmitted impulse and the reflected impulse one can     <br>
calculate the distance of the aeroplane.   As the trans-     <br>
mitted impulse is much stronger than the reflected one,      <br>
the receiver is switched off during the transmitting     <br>
of the impulse.   (Meaning uncertain)  The transmiited     <br>
impulse is registered on the "Braun" valve with a local     <br>
mark.    In conjunction with the JU 88 programme     <br>
similar transmitters will be installed all over Germany     <br>
by April 1940.      <br>
     <br>
<u>Protective measures</u>.      By using special receivers     <br>
which can pick up impulses of 10-5 to 10-6 second     <br>
intervals one must determine the wave length of the     <br>
impulses sent in Germany and then send interfering     <br>
impulses on the same wave lenght.   These receivers     <br>
can be on land, so can the transmitters as this method     <br>
is very sensitive.      <br>
	       While this method has been introduced to a     <br>
great extent another invention is being prepared working     <br>
on 50 cm. wave lengths. (See Fig,1).    The transmitter     <br>
T sends out short impulses which are aimed by an electric-     <br>
al concave mirror.   The receiver R is next to the     <br>
transmitter and also has a directional serial.   This     <br>
picks up the reflected impulse. T sand R are connected     <br>
by an artificial circuit of which the relaying time is     <br>
alterable.   This artificial circuit has the following     <br>
purpose:-     <br>
	  The receiver is closed to ordinary waves     <br>
and cannot pick up impulses.   The impulse which is     <br>
transmitted by wireless from T is also carried along     <br>
the artificial circuit and makes the receiver receptive     <br>
for a very short time.   If the time taken on the artifi-     <br>
cial circuit is equal to the time taken for the reflected     <br>
wireless impulse, the latter can be registered on the     <br>
"Braun" valve.  One can, for instance, very accurately     <br>
measure the distance of an aeroplane and  it is very     <br>
insensitive to interference as the receiver is only     <br>
alive for very short periods.      <br>
     <br>
9.  <u>PILOTS</u> - <u>DISTANCE MEASURING APPARATUS</u>     <br>
     <br>
	 When pilots fly to attack an enemy country, it is     <br>
important for them to know how far they are from their     <br>
base.   For this purpose the following invention is     <br>
being developed at Rechlin:-     <br>
	 At the base there is a wireless transmitter (6 metre     <br>
wave) which is modulated to a low frequency "f".   The     <br>
aeroplane which is a distance "a" away, receives the 6     <br>
metre wave and obtains, after demodulation, the low     <br>
frequency "f".   With this low frequency he modulates     <br>
his own transmitter which has a somewhat different wave     <br>
length.  The thus modulated wave of the aeroplane is     <br>
received at the base and demodulated.   The the low     <br>
frequency "f" thus obtained is compared with the local     <br>
low frequency.    They differ from each other by a phase     <br>
angle (Phasenwinkel) 4 À f.a. / c  (In which let a = distance     <br>
of the aeroplane; c = speed of light).   By measuring     <br>
the phase one can then measure the distance of the     <br>
aeroplane and inform the plane as to its position.      <br>
To ensure accuracy in the measurement the phase angle     <br>
must remain below 2 À.    Therefore one chooses a low     <br>
frequency "f", e.g. 150 pps. then for 1.000 km.  the     <br>
phase angle equals 2 À.    With so low a frequency one     <br>
cannot achieve great accuracy.   Therefore one sends at     <br>
the same time a second, higher, frequency, e.g. 1.500 pps.     <br>
and compares the phase angle of this also.   Thus 150 pps.     <br>
may be called a rough measurement while 1.500 pps. is a      <br>
precision measurement.      <br>
     <br>
10.  <u>TORPEDOES</u>     <br>
     <br>
	The German Navy has two new types of Torpedo:-     <br>
     <br>
	a)   One wants, for instance, to attack a convoy      <br>
	from a distance of ten kilometres.    These     <br>
	torpedoes have a wireless receiver which can pick     <br>
	up three signals, one can steer the torpedo to     <br>
	the left, to the right, or straight ahead, either     <br>
	from the ship firing the torpedo or from an     <br>
	aeroplane.   Long waves are used, which can      <br>
	satisfactorily penetrate water in order of three     <br>
	Kilometres.  These are modulated with short     <br>
	sound waves which actuate the steering of the     <br>
	torpedo.  In this way the torpedo would be steered     <br>
	into close proximity of the convoy.   In order to     <br>
	hit the ship two acoustic receivers (microphones)     <br>
	are built into the head of the torpedo which     <br>
	constitute a direction finder.     The direction     <br>
	of the torpedo is so controlled by this receiver     <br>
	that it directs itself to the source of sound.      <br>
	When therefore the torpedo has been steered by     <br>
	wireless within a few hundred metres of the ship it     <br>
	automatically steers itself towards the ship, as     <br>
	every ship makes acoustic sounds by its machinery.      <br>
	One can fairly easily protect oneself against them     <br>
	by acoustic and wireless interference signals.      <br>
     <br>
	b)	      The second type of torpedo is probably     <br>
	that with which the "Royal Oak" was sunk.   These     <br>
	do not explode against the ships side but under     <br>
	the hull.    The firing of the explosives is     <br>
	attained magnetically and is based upon the     <br>
	following principles:-     <br>
	 	 (See fig.2)      The vertical construc-     <br>
	tion of a magnetic field is approximately the same     <br>
	throughout, but is altered by the ship "S", so that     <br>
	at points "A" and "C" there is a weaker field,      <br>
	while at point "B" there is a stronger field.  A     <br>
	torpedo coming from the left, therefore, first     <br>
	runs in a normal field, then in a weaker one and so on.     <br> 
	In the head of the torpedo there revolves an armature     <br>
	on a horizontal axis, rather like an earth inductor.     <br>
	At the clips of this armature a direct current is     <br>
	generated in proportion to the vertical construction of     <br>
	the magnetic field.   In line with this current lies a     <br>
	contrary tension of equal strength so that no current     <br>
	can flow while the torpedo is in a normal magnetic     <br>
	field.   When, however, the torpedo reaches point "A"     <br>
	the magnetic field is weaker and the tension on the     <br>
	revolving armature lessens.    The two opposed tensions     <br>
	are now unequal, a current flows which actuates a relay     <br>
	which relesaes the firing.   The delay action is set     <br>
	in such a way that the explosion occurs directly under-     <br>
	neath the ship's hull.     <br>
		     Perhaps one can protect oneself against such     <br>
	torpedoes by stretching a cable alongside the ship,     <br>
	approximately at the depth of the ship's keel and as     <br>
	far away from the hull as possible.    If one sends a     <br>
	suitably selected direct current through this cable     <br>
	one can also produce a magnetic field with danger point     <br>
	"A" far away from the ship. Thus the torpedo would     <br>
	explode too soon.    Perhaps it is also possible, by     <br>
	using suitably selected compensating armatures, to     <br>
	equalise the disturbance of the magnetic field cause     <br>
	by the iron mass of the ship.      <br>
     <br>
     <br>
     <br>
     <br>

              <u>TRANSLATION FROM THE GERMAN</u>     <br>
     <br>
         <u>ELECTRIC FUSES FOR AERIAL BOMBS AND</u>     <br>
              <u>ARTILLERY PROJECTILES</u>     <br>
     <br>
     <br>
		   In Germany one is departing from the     <br>
mechanical fuses and adopting electrical fuses now.     <br>
All fuses for aerial bombs are already electrical ones.      <br>
Fig.1 illustrates the principle:-     <br>
			 When the bomb leaves the aeroplane the     <br>
condenser C1 is loaded with 150 volts from a battery by a     <br>
sliding contact.    This loads the condenser C2 via the     <br>
resistance R.   C2 is not loaded before the bomb has left      <br>
the aeroplane's danger zone.   When the bomb lands  a     <br>
mechanical contact K closes and the condenser unloads     <br>
itself via the fuse armature Z.   The advantage is that     <br>
the bombs are notalive when hanging from the aeroplane and     <br>
one can land safely with the bombs.      <br>
			Fig.2 shows an electrical time fuse.       <br>
It is on the same principle, but in the place of a mechanic-      <br>
al contact there is a Glow-lamp G. which lights after a      <br>
definite period and can be adjusted by the strength      <br>
(Werte) of the condenser and resistance.       <br>
		   The newest developments incorporate glow      <br>
lamps with screens (Fig.3).    If one selects the tension      <br>
of the battery in such a way that it is a little below      <br>
the fuse tension and if the glow-lamp is insulated one      <br>
can make the lamp burn by changing the Separator-capacity      <br>
(Teilkapazitäten) C12 and C23.    Remarkably small changes      <br>
of the Separator capacity are required.   Fig. 4 shows      <br>
this theoretical construction in a projectile.     The      <br>
head K of the projectile is insulated and lies along the      <br>
screen of the glow-lamp.   Should the projectile fly past      <br>
an aeroplane the separator capacities are changed a little      <br>
and the lamp is lit whereby the projectile explodes.        <br>
One can also adjust the fuses so that all projectiles      <br>
explode a certain distance above the ground e.g. explode      <br>
at a height of three metres.       <br>
		     I enclose one of the lamps with screen,       <br>
there is an improved lamp in which the screen consists      <br>
of a ring.       <br>
		    The discharge fuse (Abwurf-Zünder) for       <br>
bombs has the descriptive number 25, the output is      <br>
intended to be increased from 25.000 in October 1939      <br>
to 100.000 from April 1939.       <br>
      <br>
		    The fuses are made at Sommerden in       <br>
Thüringen by the railway line running between Sangerhausen       <br>
and Erfurt. The firm is called "Rheinmetall".       <br>
      <br>
