U-BOAT CREWS
Less Fighting Spirit (8.0.W.) RUGBY, June 26. A considerable number of U-boat officers and other ranks recently arrived at a military prison at Oslo, according to a report reaching responsible Norwegians, says the British United Press Stockholm correspondent. They are members of six U-boat crews who refused to put to sea. The British United Press naval correspondent says reports have been received in British quarters recently of a lessening fighting spirit among U-boat crews, some of the latest prisoners having been dejected, though relieved to be out of the Battle of the Atlantic. The bluster and overwhelming confidence of the earlier Üboat crews, who mainly consisted of young Nazis is disappearing.
