"For these eight years the e cleverest German technicians 's have been warking ta find the rcure for the magnetic mines. Now the British Navy has to rstart' where we. began eight - years ago."1 - Stupid people the British! * Perfect Faith 1 "The Fuchrer says if you keep 3your religion inside your own e church yu can have any re- gligion you like but yu are fot entitlcd ta preach It outside. And until Niemnoller signs a lit- >tic document, which I myseif would flot mind signing, he will remain ini prison. "But we Englishmen would flot cal! that frecdom,", I retort- cd. "Is there any freedom i Gerrnany to-day, Captain, ta say what yau like?" Pat camne the answer, "No, ai course there is not. There la no frecdam aof the Press, nfi re-. dom ta think what'you please. But that is good for Germans and good for Gcrmany tao."9 But what guarantce has Ger- many that a "good Fuehrer" will always rule Germnany? The Rawalpindi It was Captain Langsdorf- himself who iirst gave me the news ai the Rawalpindi engage- ment. He did flot attempt ta craw about it. "It was murder flot a battie. The British ship was hopelcssly aut-gunned and out-classed. She had fi aamour, she was only a merchant ship."1 Cheeria! To create a bit af diversion and cheer aurselves, we started handing out bouquets ta the British gunners. Evcry turne the Graf Spee shuddered wc wauld sîng out, "Well hit, sir!" or "That was a good one!" In Battle One moment there was a gun about ta be fired and men warking round it. Then there came a blindîng flash and an explosion which sent me recling back into the f lat thinking that I was hit. The bulkhead ai the housing just abave me was shat- tercd. Bits ai debris came fly- t ing through the skylight. L When, a second later, I climb- cd up and lookcd again, the9 gun's crew had vanishcd. Thea gun itself lay drunkcnly on itsn side, its muzzlc palntlng down- wards. The shield was rlddled t with hales and the steel doorn behlnd the breech had beenv torn off its hinges.d Aiter the Battie There was fia bitterncss in his p tone as CaPtain Langidori grected me. "Ah, Captain," he said, shak- ti lng hi, head, '«J am Sorry that ai you had ta be in this action. I ar ldthat none a a r "But yau are woundcd, Cap- tan"I said. "Oh, only a little," hie shrug- ged. "But weren't yau under cav- er? " I askcd. "It was impossible," hie ex- plaincd. III had three British ships ta watch, and I could flot take my cyca off anc ai thcm." Then his great admiration for the men af the Exeter bubbled over. "Thcy were ma g n ifi ce nt, splendid fighters. With my sal-' voea I Put out af action their forward guns. 1 smashcd the bridge. But they turned ta fight me wîth only anc gun. Long aiter I thought I had put them out ai action thcy came back at me. "When you fight brave men like that yau cannot féel any enmity, you anly want ta shake hands with thcm. "Yu English are hard. You do not know when yau arc beaten. The Exeter was beaten, but would nat know it!" Hle held out his right hand, woundcd as it was, ta shake mine.1 As I took it he wcnt an "The Ajax and the Achilles camne at nme like destroyers. Thcy got right in and tried ta tarpeda me. They fired tcn torpcdocs and anc was very close. I sent out a big smokc scrccn and I zig- zagged, but stili they camne ai- ter me. I said ta myself 4"They would neyer do this unless thcy were supportcd by big ships."9 "My intelligence tells me now that tic Barham and the Dun- querque were in the vlclnlty. The British cruisers trled ta cut me off frain thc shore and drive me out ta sea. Thywould neyer have dar- cd taedo this unless they had samne support or wcrc trylng ta drive me out into Uic guns ai bigger ships Samcwhcrc out at sca."1 The last paragraph is amazing. The Graf Spee fled because ai thc audacity ai thc Commandera af the Ajax and Achilles. Captain Langsdarf was canvncc<l that it was a trick ta drive hlm under thc guns af the larger shipa - whých, at thec time, wcre hundreds ai miles distant. An American ambulance driver tells af the usual Gceman corm- nient on the British: "Brave, but verY vcry atupld."1 Oh, well what does it matter. In ii ue, Uic Ger- nana will find out that Uic British' are not alwaysatupid. Slow pea- P1e these Germans!
