unless West could be induced to duck the first diamond trick. (If-West! took the first diamond South. could later get a discard on the diamond King. but would still lose a diamond and three hearts),
South knew just what would): 'happen if he won the first trick and immediately led a diamond: West would hop right up with the Ace of diamonds, suspecting. the fact that South had only a singleton. But if West were con- vinced that South had more than one diamorid; he might play lbw on the first round of that suit:
So after winning the Arst trick, South carefully drew three rounds of trumps obviously removing the only card of entry to the dummy. Then South led his diamond. West looked at the entryless dummy and never dreamed, that South had removed the only entry to the King of diamonds. It seemed a sure thing that South had more than one diamond. so West saw no reason to put up his Ace on the first round of the suit.

The heavy offensive nature of these activities is shown by figures of losses-the Germans lost 21 and the British 73, of which 43 were
