 F. William Engdahl: HALFORD MACKINDER'S  NECESSARY WAR
He ordered a British warship in the North Atlantic to seize the German ship 'Altmark.' That, despite the fact the ship was docked in a neutral Norwegian fjord, far from international waters.
The 'Altmark' incident was a decisive signal to Hitler that, for all her noble claims about defending national sovereign rights, England had no qualms about violating Norwegian sovereignty if she deemed it useful.
Laval saw Petain as a French von Hindenburg, an ageing but popular war hero, whom he could use, against the left, to build beneficial political and economic cooperation with the victorious Germans.

The seizure of power by the Party, the appointment of Hitler as Reich Chancellor by Reich President Von Hindenburg, the winning of the majority of the people for the Party by repeated elections, all this confirmed to young Schirach again and again the legality of the movement he had joined.
