Dear all,

Can the term 'fortgang' (Norsk) mean 'immediately' in English? The dict says
'speed up/dispatch/forward'. 

For reference the full sentence is:
Her ble «Den endelige løsning på jødespørsmålet» diskutert, og det ble bestemt
at man måtte få fortgang i utryddelsesprosessen.

Many thanks.

Ha det bra

No, "fortgang" can't mean immediately. The correct phrase will be "å få fortgang
i" = "to speed up".

"få fortgang i utryddelsesprosessen" =
"speed up the extermination process"
