During the first months of the war Admiral Raeder or so he testified at Nuremberg had no contact with [Alfred] Rosenberg [official philosopher of the Nazi movement], whom he scarcely knew, and none with Quisling, of whom he had never heard. But immediately after the Russian attack on Finland Raeder began to get reports from his naval attaché at Oslo, Captain Richard Schreiber, of imminent Allied landings in Norway. He mentioned these to Hitler on
December 8 and advised him flatly, It is important to occupy Norway.
