Fifth Column" Tactics
Give Success to Germans

1 Germans hidden in barges seized

which enabled the German invad-
ers TO turn the Dutch defenses
from the south. This was decisive.
But 1900 Germans resident in
the little country occupied a con-
siderable share OF the Dutch armed
forces and made conquest that
much easier. The 30. 900 occupied
their leisure in propaganda and
espionage for the Nazis
Two hundred and fifty enjoyed
extra-territorial privileges as MEM
bers Of the German legation in the
Hague alone. without counting the
officials In the various consulates.
Fifty OF hundred so-called news
papermen spent most Of their time
wandering the country. bent on
strategic and economic research.
German servants nearly every
where carefully amassed bits of
conversation OF copied private
papers.
When Hitler finally struck, the
40, 900 turned on their placid hosts
and, where they could, shot them
down.
Practically all produced red
Identification cards, which pro-
cured them the respect and CO
operation Of the German officers.
In Rotterdam they utilized private
wireless senders supplied by the
Hazi party.
Everywhere they served as
guides and advisers for parschut-
lists. and It was no fault OF theirs
that the queen Of Holland, the
members OF the Dutch government
and a selected list of patriotic
Dutch were not all seized by air
raiders and taken to Germany the
first day of attack.
The $1,000 Germans living in
Belgium do not seem to have
taken any particular part in the
reasonable failure to destroy the
bridges over the Albert canal, Bel
GUMS first and chief line of de-
Tense, thanks to which both Bel
GUM and Holland were doomed to
easy conquest. There was no need
for them.
The thousands of dissatisfied

members of Leon Degreele's Rex
ist party saw TO that.
But the 10000. reinforced by the
usual diplomatic. newspaper. artis-
tic and business propaganda and
espionage corps from Germany
played a powerful part in building
up and financing these reasonable
Belgian organizations, and in in
fluencing important persons in a
sense favorable to Germany.
The final astounding decision of
King Albert to surrender in full
battle cannot be ascribed to purely
Belgian influences.
