COMMANDOS' METHODS
Alleged Disclosures To
Germans
CANADIAN PRIVATE'S TRIAL Rec. 1 p.m. LONDON, August 24. At a Canadian court-martial held at Farnborough, Hampshire, Private George Hale was accused of aiding the enemy while he was a prisoner of war. It was alleged that Hale passed on to the Germans information obtained from other Allied prisoners.
Lieutenant-Colonel J. Watt, prosecuting, said that Hale was taken prisoner at Dieppe on August 19. 1942, and later was removed to Stalag 8B at Langsdorf. Trooper Lawrence, an ex-prisoner of Stalag 88, said in evidence that Hale asked him how the commandos worked, where they trained, and what airports they used. A United States private, R. H. Harwood, said that Hale told him he was getting extra pay and had 5000 dollars deposited for him in a neutral country as a result of picking up information and handing it over to the Germans. . The case was adjourned until Monday.
