MORALE OF U-BOAT CREWS
(Rec. 9 p.m.) LONDON, June 26. “A considerable number of U-boat officers recently arrived at a military prison in Oslo, according to a report reaching responsible - Norwegians,” says the Stockholm correspondent of the British United Press. ‘‘They are members of six U-boat crews who refused to put to sea.” The naval correspondent of the British United Press says: “Reports have been received in British quarters recently of a lessening of the fighting spirit among U-boat crews. Some of the latest prisoners have been dejected, though relieved to be out of the Battle of the Atlantic. The bluster and overwhelming confidence of earlier U-boat crews, which mainly consisted of young Nazis, is disappearing.”
