CLEARING GERMAN JACKBOOTS
Work For “Tommies” (Rec. 10.25 p.m.) LONDON, May 15. British Tommies are cleaning the jackboots of 1* German officers who are living in a country mansion near Edinburgh. These officers arrived in Scotland by air last Friday to disclose to the British Naval and Military authorities full details of Norway’s defences. The Tommies who are acting as their batmen brush their uniforms and wait on the table, but they refuse to salute the Germans. It was suggested to the gardener’s daughter who does the shopping that while the Germans were at the mansion she should use the rear entrance, involving an extra walk of one mile each way. The girl promptly refused. After 72 hours’ stay in Scotland, the German officers who had been informing Supreme Allied Headquarters of tire dispositions of the German forces in Norway left for Oslo. The Press Association says it is understood that the interrogating officers are returning to Oslo with the Germans to check and supplement their disclosures.
