John: Your book, actually a pamphlet (Heft), was published in 1940 by Colemandruck in Lubeck. The author was Oberkommando der Wehrmacht under the auspices of Informationsdienst Nord, Nordischen Gesellschaft. I don’t know anything specific about the Informationsdienst Nord, Nordischen Gesellschaft, but my guess is that it was a section of the Ministry of Propaganda responsible for developing propaganda concerning events in the northern sector. Another pamphlet, 48 pages, bearing the same authorizing agency and publisher was Erklärung des Reichministers von Ribbentrop über Englands Verbrechung an Norwegen, also published in 1940. The title you have was propaganda for home-front consumption, whereas the second title was more of a white paper for the international community, and as such it was translated into several languages.
