U-Boat Crews Would Not Put To Sea
LONDON, June 27. A considerable number of U-boat officers and other ranks have recently arrived at a military prison at Oslo, according to a report reaching responsible says the Stockholm correspondent of the British United Press. They are members of six U-boat crews who refused to put to sea.
The British United Press naval correspondent says that reports were 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 consisted mainly of young Nazis, is disappearing.
