HELPING THE ENEMY?
New Zealand newspapers often published military information which would be of value to the enemy, said a member of the 2nd N.Z.E.F. who recently returned from abroad. Those who were or had been on. active service overseas were sometimes seriously concerned, he said, about certain details appearing in home newspapers which reached them. Such information as that relating to happenings in Greece and Crete, for instance, might well'lead to trouble in those countries if the papers fell into the possession of the Germans, and.that could quite easily happen when the newspapers were taken by the New. Zealanders into their front-line positions. .
