GERMAN ACTIVITIES IN SYRIA: FACTS COMING TO LIGHT
(By Reuter's Special Correspondent with the
Imperial Troops in Syria)
HERR GROBA, German Minister in Bagh- død, returned to Syria after the Iraq rebel- lion with two sacks of gold. When he reach- ed a hotel in north Syria, the manager, porter and another man were needed to carry one sack to the bedroom.
This is but one of the amazing stories told me by a British resident of Beirut who has just finished five weeks' internment.
He also said the Germans even promised to bring aviation fuel to Syria by submarine. This was discovered when a telephone call from a pro- minent Vichy official to Renoir, principal German delegate in Aleppo, was overheard.
When the British entered Syria. Renoir telephoned daily to ገ leading member of the High Commissioner's office, requesting the latest news from the front.
Finally he came to Beirut
wi h 2 "petit personnel" to
make direct con'act with Gen- eral Dentz, and, after hearing the latest reports, fled from the country.
Blitzkrieg Scheme
There is no shadow of doubl Germany had planned a blitz- krieg on Syria in detail, aiming at the complete occupation Syria and Lebanon, I learn from Britons in Beirut, and the Bri- tish action was not only timely but desperately necessary.
