And The Rumor Spread
AUTHOR: Veteran Intelligence OFFICER

impossible Our experts told us that to set the sea
on fire with mixture of gasoline and oil was
perfectly feasible but extravagant and expensive
operation. Extravaganza and expense did not
worry us.
The burning-sea rumor was approved by our
chiefs, with the pungent remark: mo objection,
but we think it a pretty poor effort" Ii then
passed out of our hands. Several weeks went by;
nothing happened No come-backs from neutral
capitals, no traces from postal censorship, not a
word from that hive Of rumor the Cafe Bavaria in
Geneva, no gossip from prisoners of war; All of
us who looked upon the burning sea as our own
particular baby started to get very respondent,
until one morning there came the news for which
we had been waiting. A Luftwaffe pilot shot
down over Charng in Kent and taken to the
CockfoSterS reception center for interrogation,
said that in his GeSchwader they knew of the
English burning sea defenses." Three days later
another Luftwaffe man volunteered the same
information - and he came from different air
field.
Two Strokes OF Luck
Over the next two weeks or so the rumor seemed
to spring up like mushrooms in the dark from
all over the place. with some most interesting
trimmings. 1t was given impetus by two won
derfu strokes of luck. The Raj, using incen-
diaries on routine bombing of invasion barges in
Calais harbor, happened to catch a German
battalion in an invasion exercise. Some of the
worst burned were sent to hospitals in the Paris
region. Thanks to the French underground, the
burning-sea rumor had already had some circula-
ton in the capital. Almost within matter of
hours it was all over Paris that the men in the
hospitals had been burned in an abortive attempt
at invasion.
The other stroke of luck was even greater. Our
Intelligence people wanted some prisoners, and
they arranged with the Royal Navy to do 'cut-
ting-out" operation against one of the flax boats
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-04-22

eight or 10 soldiers to serve the antaircraft guns
Neither crews nor gunnerS had much enthusiasm
for the war. The latter we're men Of low medical
categorieS collected from number of different
units The cutting-out expedition was bloodleSS
and successful, and shortly before dawn, the
Royal Navy put ashore at Dover the trawler crew
and 10 rather bewiIdered German soldiers.
AS soon as he looked at their pay books and
interrogated them the Intelligence officer realized
that the 10 men were drawn from eight different
units The same evening" in our German Forces
Program and in our ordinary German civilian
program from London, it was announced that 10
soldiers had been brought into Dover that morn
ing unhurt, rescued from the sea- Their full
names, numbers and unit identificationS were
given. The announcement closed with the words:
I'VE know nothing of the fate Of their comrades,
followed by funeral music from Wagner.
AS the days passed, rumor piled upon rumor,
and then came third stroke of luck. So con-
WINGED had the Germans become that the British
really had means of setting the sea on fire, they
started to experiment with the freprOofng of
barges. At Fecamp in Normandy, they armored
barge with asbestos sheets which they filled with
troops and steered into pool Of burning gaSo-
line. All on board were burned to death. Some
of the dreadfuly charred bodies drifed out to sea
and were washed up at various points along the
French coast.
At this period of the war the German Army
postal censorship seems to have been very lax, for
through Sweden and Switzerland we soon began
to get reports of soldiers writing home and telling
their families Of the burning-sea story; telling
them, too, of burned and blinded comrades they
had visited in hospitals. have no doubt in my
mind at all, and have confirmed it by talking to
ex-Wehrmacht officers since the war, that by the
middle of September l94O thousands of Germans
along the French coast and in the Low Countries
we're convinced that an invasion attempt had been
made, and that large number of their comrades
had been destroyed in the flaming sea.
"Heat-BuckIed Hulks"
One of the mysteries of the whole operation l
have not been able to solve to this day; nor,
think, has anyone else. That is how the rumor got
back to Britain. There are plenty of people in
Britain who to this day remain convinced that
there was an invasion attempt in 1910 and that it
was defeated by setting the sea on fire.
In mid October 1910 had to go down to
Portsmouth on duty, and one of the calls l made
was on well-known admiral. Having sworn me
to secrecy he told me in great detail of the abor
tive invasion attempt, of the success of our secret
weapon, of the heat-buckled huIkS of landing
craft washed ashore near Selsey, of the hundreds
of charTed corpses along the high-water line on
Chesil beach. 1t was one of the occasions on
which it would be unknd as we'll as unwise to
contradict superior officer. Imagination is
powerful thing, as we discovered many times

Careful reading of the data will
bring to light some little known
facts. One of the more interesting
is that the most Orthodox men,
bers of this community of some
$4,000 settled in the most Catholic
cantons and the Reform Jewish
communities inhabit the freezer"
towns of Zurich, Basic, Berne and
Geneva.
According to a survey in the
prominent "Neue Zuriche lei
tunq" there is a strong tendency
towards assimilation. In 1910 in
Zurich there were AZ mixed mar
riages compared to 2ss in 1850. "A
similar trend can be noted in
other cities.
Jewish economic. qualification
in Switzerland is similar to that
of Germany before the advent of
the Nazis or to neighboring Ais
ace. There is hardly any Jewish
working class. The poorer Jews
are taken care of by the various
community charities. Heavy Swiss
industry does not include Jews in
large numbers. There are indi-
viduals also found in the large
banks and the press but Jews in
politics are a rare phenomenon.
Swiss Jews are mainly concen-
trated in trade and the profess
sions.
But the general Jewish picture
is NOT all that bleak. The Geneva
community recently spent $4,000
dollars to set up a lavish center
which is a hive of communal
activity.
Many Jewish organizations join
with International bodies such as
the World Jewish Congress, the
JDC and the United Has Service
in completing communal activity
far more than on local scale. The
international bodies centered In
Geneva have ramifications much
wider afield.
One Of the most successful OF
Jewish endeavors has been the
establishment of the ORT school
at Anniere where young Jews are
trained to go to all parts OF the
world and teach others the tech
niques Of new crafts.
Among the Jewish community
