German majors with Iron Crosses.
Then you admit that one British
captain is the equal Of five German

When the interpreter translated
this for the ranking German off,

and cried, "Nein, nein.'
But you said the exchange was to
be on an equal basis-rank for rank,
Mr. Hodges said
After further parley the Germans
proposed three captains and three
lieutenants for Capt. Foot. Mr.
Hodges refused. In the end the
Germans agreed to swap Capt. Foot
for one German major or captain
