RUMOURS OF GERMAN TROOP MOVEMENTS: SIR NEVILE SEEKS ASSURANCE

Berlin, To-day.

The British Ambassador, Sir Nevile Henderson, called at the Foreign Office yesterday and drew the attention of Herr Weiszaecker, the Secre- tary of State, to rumours current that German troops had been moved to the borders of all parts of Germany. The Ambassador asked for

assurances.

It is understood that Herr Weiszaecker immediate- ly communicated with General von Keitel, the 'commander-in-chief, who replied explicitly that there were no extraordinary troop move- ments.

The assurance was conveyed to the British Ambas-

sador.

The German military authorities describe the troop movements as normal movements from town bar- racks to country hutments which always occur at this time of year, and the troops are only engaged in normal peacetime duties.
