HITLER SAID “WIN,” SO THEY WON
(Received 11.30 a.rn.) LONDON, October 3.
At Bonington Park, where hundreds of German officers were interned during the Great War. German motorists competed for the first time against British motorists, and triumphed in an International Grand Prix of 250 miles. Five out of the seven racing cars which Herr Hitler had ordered to go all out to win finished. The British and Italian competitors were flagged out, and they failed to complete the distance within the time limit. Rosemeyer, driving an Auto Union, won in 181 minutes. Several bookmakers absconded, and Germans backing their countrymen were defrauded of £SO. An aeroplane containing two men and a woman flying to Bonington Park crashed in flames. All were incinerated.
