SEVEN GERMANS ARRESTED BY POLICE IN EIRE
DUBLIN, April 15. ' Eire police have arrested seven German internees as a result of diplomatic pressure" from the United States and France. Leading Eire detectives, including women officers, who got into the Germans’ confidence, shadowed the Germans after their release, and learned so much that the Prime Min■ister (Mr de Valera) was satisfied that a powerful' Nazi organisation was being planned in Eire. The_ Germans were then rearrested. They were caught while in'.' bed, and were taken to Mountjoy Prison wearing overcoats over their pyjamas. The authorities told the Germans they would be flown to Germany today, but a habeas corpus application in the Dublin High-' Court is likely to delay their departure. The Germans include Dr Hermann Goertz, a lawyer and novelist, Who served nearly four years in gaol for trying to map Manston Airfield,; in Kent.’GoeUz landed in Eire by-para-chute in May, 1940. He was interned a year later. The authorities' freed all seven Germans in September, 1946, and told them they were liable to deportation at any time.
