Poor bastards, Norway didn't realize that the Germans would invade two days later ending the “Phony War”.

Has anybody else noticed that in all these war actions the Times always says “The Nazis attack” or “Hitler invades”.

Never do they say “Germany invades” or “Germany attacks”.

Politically correct even back then...

You piqued my interest so I went back and looked at headlines from last year. Back in September the word "Germany" or "German" made into print fairly frequently. On September 1, for example, the headline was "German Army Attacks." I think they may have been looking for the punchy word to sell papers or maybe saving space. "Nazis" takes fewer inches than "Germany" when the letters are really big. "Reich" is another favorite.
