FORMER GERMAN SPY
OFFER TO SERVE BRITAIN VON RINTELEN’S APPLICATION. CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTOR TO NAZISM. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. LONDON, October 14. Captain von Rintelen, chief of the German spies in the United States in the last war. appeared before the Aliens Tribunal and sought permission to travel freely in Britain in order to lecture. Admiral Sir Reginald Hall, who was responsible for Captain von Rintelen’s capture in 1915, but who is now his friend testified that Captain von Rintelen interviewed him and described himself as a conscientious objector to Nazism, and said history might have taken a different turn if he had not refused an offer by the Nazis of the Ambassadorship in London in succession to the late Dr von Hoesch. Captain von Rintelen renounced his German nationality in 1934 and wants to devote himself to the service of Britain. Decision was reserved, and the tribunal eventually granted Captain von Rintelen freedom of movement, subject to undisclosed conditions.
