when on the seventh day of fighting
post No. was demolished by fire from
heavy mortars and other posts badly
damaged, it became clear that we could
not hold any longer. The general situa-
ton in Poland of which we happened to
learn something through our damaged
radio made our own position still more
hopeless.
After taking all this into considera-
ton, at 1918 am, September 7, I de-
cided to capitulate. 1t was the most
tragic moment of my life. The praise
later heard from the German command
ers and the fact that Gen. Eberhardt,
the commander of Danzig, left me in
possession of my sword, have not helped
to make it any easier"
When Maj. Sucharski turned the Wes-
terplatte over to the Germans and the
German war flag was hoisted, the once
pleasantly wooded peninsula was heap
of blasted trees, crumbled masonry and
tangled wires and rails. There was no
place for soldier to take refuge above
ground.
II Taken Prisoner.
Not one of the Y men taken prisoner
has escaped from Germany. 1t is be-
lieved certain that some of the wounded
have died in their hospital prisons. The
only word to come from the heroic gar
rison is Maj Sucharskis story, censored
by the Germans and carried by some
secret means to the Polish Army in
England.
However, some of the Poles who lived
in Danzig through the oninous last days
of peace in 1889 have reached allied
countries to fight again against the
Germans.
Marian Chodacky, who was the Polish
Commissioner General in Danzig in 1899
and was arrested and interned at the
outbreak of war, is now in England,
major in the Polish Army.
WistlaW Arlet, an assistant to Cho-
dacky in Danzig, is now counselor of the
Polish Embassy in Washington. Arlet,
on the day before the war started, was
asked in his Danzig Office whether the
Polish attitude might change in view of
the ever-increasing menace of war.
"Poland's attitude is the same today as
it was yesterday and will be tomorrow"
Arlet told me.
The next day, the Westerplatte gar
rison proved his words.

Government things began to happen.
Sari De Hajek had given her a carefully
indexed notebook. containing the names
OF about 200 prominent people-some in
Washington-through whom she could
obtain entree into circles where she
might obtain information of value to
the German espionage service She was
also furnished with the names of the
German sympathizer contacts she was
to make in this country 1t was the
latter in which the Federal agents were
most interested, and now they began to
knit together loose threads that were to
weave the net for the spy ring. For the
first time, too-perhaps-the investiga-
tors got an idea of how closely asso-
ciated were the various subversive ele-
ments that were being uncovered over
the country.
Back in 1889 the FBI had been tipped
off that Mrs. Theresa Behrens, secretary
of the International Center of the Young
Women's Christian Association in De-
troit, was sending out Christmas cards
on which she penned note telling the
recipients not to believe the things that
were being said about Germany. Mrs.
Behrens, born in Yugoslavia in 1898, was

Sari De Hajek had gone back to Buda-
pest in the meantime, and the war kept
her there. She moved in the best So
ciety, and had high official contacts.
There she met comely Grace Buchanan
Dineen, daughter of wealthy French
Canadian family, whose grandfather was
the last Count De Neen of Brittany,
and whose forebears carried the titles
of count and countess even after the
French Revolution. Miss Buchanan
Dineen, long resident of European
capitals, was few years the Hungarian
girls senior-she now is 34-but they
had much in common, and their asso-
citation soon was on an intimate basis.
Eventually, Miss De Hajek suggested that
the older woman return to this country
and engage in espionage activity for the
Axis. The latter agreed, and Immediately
was launched on an intensive course in
espionage methods that took her even
to Berlin. She was instructed in secret
communication work, the use of invisible
inks and microphotography, the gather
ing of vital information. She was to
pose in the United States as a lecturer,
and her principal duties were to gather
data on airplane factories, military
camps and naval bases, the composition
and sailing dates of conveys Her pay
was to be $500 monthly and just before
taking Clipper from Lisbon the bud
ding spy was handed So, 500 by German
naval attache. Her last-minute prep
arations were aided by Rozinek, who
had lately appeared on the scene, and
orders called for her to 60 to Detroit.
Detroit Headquarters.
Miss Buchanan-Dineen arrived in New
York on October 81, 1941, and almost at
once Federal agents intercepted a cable
she was supposed to have sent to known
spy headquarters in Lisbon. few days
later another communicate for Lisbon
left Detroit, and shortly afterward there
was third communication for the same
destination, again sent from New York.
At about the same time the underground
reported that mysterious Miss Smith
was busy in suspected Nazi circles in
Detroit. 1t was only matter of hours
to identify Miss Smith" as Grace Bu-
chanan-Dineen, and when a note from
Miss Smith" was found in the effects

convicted of misprision of treason in the
Krug case.

Miss Buchanan-Dineen with materials
for compromising the secret inks used
for the letters that went back to Ger

The doctor was quoted by the FBI as

he were apprehended as spy, he would

had done was proper, because he thought
the Nazi cause would prevail, and that
the world thereby would be made

LONDON.-The unhappy remnants Of
that tough and gallant little Polish
garrison which, without any hope sof
salvation, held the Westerplatte at Dam
zig against impossible odds through
seven flaming days have told part Of
the hellish story at last four years
later.
From a prison camp deep in Ger
many, which holds the thin faced, bony
commander of the garrison, Maj. Henryk
Sucharski, and the surviving members
Of his little band, has come a guarded
but nonetheless dramatic account of the
Nazi attack. Written by Maj. Sucharski
for the prison camp paper, it tells how
the 202 lightly armed Poles defled the
big guns of the German warship, the
Schleswig Holstein, and the persistent
assaults of 5000 Nazi troops.
THE fine evening of August 81 did not
differ from all the preceding ones" Mai.
Sucharski wrote. The patrols on duty
that night just reported that all was
unusually quiet and silent in the port.
THE alarm which aroused us at 4:40
dm wien Ine WlndOW paneS OF the
barracks shook with artillery fire was
quite surprise. 1t was the Schleswig-
Holstein firing at us with her heavy
guns. 1t became obvious that the war
had begun"
Under cover of this surprise barrage
which blew up the railway gate and the
adjoining wall on the peninsula, Ger
man troops attempted to storm the gar
rison, but were forced back by MUIR
derous sweep of machinegun fire. The
Smelling was intensified. Machineguns
on the tops of buildings across the river
opened fire.
Our 3-inch gun silenced some of
them, but after firing 30 shots she un-
fortunately was hit by an enemy SHE'LL"
Maj. Sucharski said.
More Artillery Smelling.
Our casualties were small: Three
killed and four wounded. We spent the
rest Of the day quietly and in the night
repulsed two more attacks.
"On the next day, September 2, there
was nothing to report at first, except
the artillery Smelling to which we were
accustomed by that time So.
"At pm. the afraid alarm was
sounded and severe bombing began. Thu
