NAZI NAVAL UNITS
DEGREE OF EFFICIENCY BRITISH APPRECIATION (Reed. Nov. 18. 12 noon) LONDON. Nov. 17. British official circles understand that, the German Navy personnel at present numbers 50.000. this reflecting unexpected progress, because when the naval treaty was signed the aim was 70,000 by 1942. British officials do not under-esti-mate the German naval unit efficiency, which orobably is 90 per cent of that oi' the British, but doubt the strategical efficiency which, from the Nazi viewpoint. demands colossal enemy sinkings without cost. For this reason it is believed that the pocket battleships are avoiding trade routes where they are likely to be sunk.
