Note the report in column 3: "Spies Here Aid Nazi Sea Raiders" |
(While the accusation was not backed up by any proof, [of course if he had proof, he would not reveal it to the public anyway] the thought that the Nazis had spies in England and Australia is without doubt. Whether they were providing any actionable information to the Hilfskreuzer [auxiliary cruisers] operating in Australian waters is highly doubtful. I have never read in any official German documents that the commanding officers of the raiders were receiving signals from spies on land. They, for the most part, had complete autonomy to cruise what waters they decided to without direction from Berlin. The Germans probably got more reliable and complete information from the newspapers. Giving away information on the location of the Queen Elizabeth in yesterday's papers is just one example.) |
