We all know- that it fell lown woefully on its job of furirshing correct and precise infornation about Germany's armanent. The Germans estimated that ilight]y._more than 5^000 British nilitary men remained in Belgium and northern France after he Battle of Dunkerque. These nen were harbored by the pro antisn oeigians and French and jiven civilian clothes and money ?all out aid. The majority ? f ;herrL became a part of the Inteljgenep Spjrvirfl) frW m" crriotional police or~Greal Bri:ain and I have seen or known of i few of its operations. The Germans ancf'The^Belgrans vere sometimes astonished by the -apidity with which the English adio reported happenings in Belgium. The English would someimps relatP "incidents" in?Brussels, Antwerp or Liege many lays before we in Ghent would >e made - aware of them by the Belgian newspapers or radia.

Notwithstanding they captured . ery, very few of them. One very clever way the Enrlish received news was by ^ the lse of mobile sending and reeeivng radio sets operated by a w-epk urrer-t. We would' sometimes see i British plane flvine relativelv rAv in the suburbs and emitting prom time to time whjto puffs. -of ;niukt*.

These au;omobiles were eouipped with a ;pecial radio having a maximum "adius of ? kilometers." The Germans weW never able to apprehend the automobile because of t??rabidity and thy could not 'trouble" the emissioji because it vas ?never made at fixed hours ior places Thesr-mitnmuhnc up >nts were nearly always Belgians.
