	Altmark Incident - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Altmark Incident (Norwegian: Altmark-saken) was a naval skirmish of World War II between United Kingdom and Nazi Germany, which happened on 16 February 1940 in what, at that time, were neutral Norwegian waters.
		The Altmark incident convinced Hitler that the allies would not respect Norwegian neutrality, and on 19 February decided to intensify the planning for Operation Weserübung, the occupation of Denmark and Norway, which eventually took place on 9 April 1940.
		The incident also had a more lasting propaganda effect in German-occupied Norway during the war, when the Norwegian collaborator government tried to neutralize their nickname Quislings by using the location of the skirmish (Jøssingfjord) to coin the derogatory term jøssing, referring to pro-allies and anti-nazis.

	BBC - WW2 People's War - The Altmark Incident
		Norway was a neutral country and, although made aware of Britain's view that the Altmark was carrying British prisoners and therefore breaching her neutrality, was also in fear of being invaded by Germany and therefore did not want to create an incident which could be used to precipitate such action.
		Altmark was in Norwegian territorial waters but her voyage was quite legal if she was a genuine merchant ship.
		The Altmark Incident was definitely an infringement of Norway's neutrality by both Britain and Germany.
