An item reported that the only availble cable between Iceland and the United Kingdom was broken or cut on the traject Faroe and Shetland Islands. This was a main communication problem with just one cable (with a landing on the Faroe Islands) and repairs during the war nearly impossible. The part of the cable between the Faroe Islands and Iceland seemed to be working.
