Morale of U-Boat Crews on Down Grade
Received Sunday, 8.50 p.m. LONDON, June 27. A considerable number of U-boat officers and other ranks have recently arrived at a military prison in Oslo, according to a report reaching responsible Norwegians, says the British United Press's Stockholm correspondent. They are members of six U-bttat crews who refused to put to sea. The British United Press’s nc*al correspondent 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 the earlier U-boat crews, which mainly consisted of young Nazis, is disappearing.
