BATMEN TO NAZIS
BRITISH SOLDIERS’ WORK LONDON, May 15 British soldiers are cleaning the jack-boots of 18 German officers who are living in a country mansion near Edinburgh. These officers arrived in Scotland by air last Friday to disclose to British naval and military authorities full details of Norway’s defences. The soldiers 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.
