REGISTRATION OF DUTCH OFFICERS
WARNING TO DISREGARD GERMAN DESIGNS (Rec. 10.30 a.m.) Rugby, April 30. Radio Orange, on the authority of the Dutch Government in London, broadcast strongly-worded advice to Holland to disregard German instructions that all officers, n.c.o.’s and men of the former Dutch army are to register, preparatory to being sent back to prisoner of war camps. Radio Orange described it as “the most serious attack ever made by Germans on the Dutch people.” The register was probably due to growing resistance in Holland against the Nazis and shortage of manpower in Germany. Those who registered would (1) sooner or later be transferred to German prison canyps; (2) be forced to work in Germany; (3) be forced to form a kind of military legion under the leadership of German officers or Dutch traitors for police services somewhere in Europe.—B.O.W.
