British Ferret Out
Axis Arms Secrets
Meier Caught by Surprise
By Ne,U Equipment.

CAIRO, EGYPT.-The accuracy
with which British intelligence ex-
perts have anticipated changes in
designs of German military equip
ment long before the innovations ap-
pear on the battlefield has been an
important factor in their strategy.
The British knew all about the new
Mark vi tank Is months before the
Cotton monsters appeared on the
front. This knowledge enabled Al
lied commanders to reallocate their
armor and anti-tank defenses SO that
when the test came the tigers
achieved only nominal success.
OF the hundreds of variations OF
battle equipment introduced by the
enemy. Allied intelligence officers
say, none has caught them by sur
prise. To get this information they
have risked, and in some instances,
lost their lives.
An example of the lengths to which
the British 60 to unriddle new arma'
ments secrets was provided just in
side the Egyptian frontier when the
first Mark w tank fell into Allied
hands. The Germans. desperately
trying to keep the British from ex-
amining it, bombed the tank almost
every foot of the way back to Cairo.
The tank was taken to Suez and
placed on the deck of a liner fol
shipment to England. That night
the Germans bombed Suez shipping
and hit the liner. By daylight the
ship was listing badly and enveloped
in flames. Port authorities were
convinced the tank could not be
saved, but young British officer,
Mai. Davis Evans, discovered a 80.
ton crane, assembled volunteer
crew and surmounted enormous diff.
ficulties in engineering the crane to
the ship side and lifting the tank
onto a barge. 1t got to shore
