6. An operation for the seizure of ICELAND would require the use of at least three divisions. It might be urged that the special fast shipping required might also be wanted for the attempted invasion of the British Isles, and that this would, therefore, rule out the Invasion of ICELAND. We do not, however, think that this would be a deterrent if the Germans regard the seizure of ICELAND as being of primary importance. 7. Any German activities in the ICELAND area are liable to precipitate measures adverse to Germany on the part of the United States of America.
