INVASION PLANS. Specially Picked Nazis To Walk The Waves To Britain. United Press Association.—Copjrlsht. (Reed. 11 a.m.) BERLIN, Sept. 26. An officially inspired description of army training for the invasion of Britain claims that hundreds of specialists are distributed among units along the Continental coast. They have been trained on the drill grounds north-west of Berlin. Immediately after the French capitulation they were selected from all branches of the services on the basis of a questionnaire in which 63 questions covered athletic prowess, knowledge of languages, technical skill and acquaintance with British geography and affairs. Unmarried men under 23 were preferred. Ten thousand have been trained to use water skis constructed from cork, on which it is possible to skate across water at five miles an hour.
