CONT

At the outbreak of World War II, the British government had plenty of economic intelligence on the German need of high-quality Scandinavian iron ore. However, while the Royal Navy felt that an economic blockade was necessary, it no longer possessed the required number of ships for such an operation. An air blockade had never been considered during the interwar years, and thus Coastal Command was not able to carry out the necessary operations at the outbreak of the war.
