The War Secretary indicated that efforts have been made to get sup- plies of battle dress and greatcoats through to our prisoners of war in -Germany, but-he-could-not-give-an- assurance that they had reached or would reach those for whom they are Intended.

It can be assumed, however, that if the Nazis wanted British uniforms as a means of facilitating invasion, they would have no great difficulty in manufac- turing passable imitations. Their genius in ersatz production is well known, and the copying of a uniform any uniform-and its manufacture in bluk, would seem to present no insuperable difficulty.
