I wonder if that was to distract the British from the Norway operation.

Marshall Goering said that Chancellor Hitler had prepared the Reich's forces "for a decisive blow in the west."

"It is there," he went on, "that the decisive blow must be struck. Tomorrow you may have to take the places of your fathers and brothers who have fallen."

I don't know, Hermann. You might want to try for a more positive spin if your aim is to fill the youth with optimism and fighting spirit for the coming struggle.
