NAZI SPY RING
BROKEN UP IN HOLLAND SEIZURE OF SECRET RADIO TRANSMITTER. WEATHER REPORTS SIGNALLED TO AIR RAIDERS. By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright. AMSTERDAM, March 1. It is believed that the Dutch police broke up an extensive German spy ring when they seized a secret radio transmitter in Schiebroek, near Rotterdam, which had been signalling weather information to aircraft. The arrested men include a Dutchman, also a German journalist from Essen. The transmitter was hidden in the roof of the Dutchman's villa. It is believed that Nazi raids over the North Sea have been timed according to weather reports broadcast by this transmitter. One of the men is stated to have been a known German spy who lived in Franco before the war, and the other is the chief Dutch editor of a German news agency. They are to appear before a secret court in Rotterdam on Monday.
