MORE NAZI LYING
ALTERATION OF TEXT OF DOCUMENT RELATING TO TURKEY & RUSSIA. STATEMENT DIRECTLY REVERSED. (British Offliciat Wireless.) (Received This Day, 10.20 a.m.) RUGBY, July 15. A recent exposure by the Anatolian News Agency of a fresh example of the German method of deliberately distorting the texts of documents for propaganda purposes has been noted with interest .in London. The German News Agency, in the course of “revelations” from secret French documents said to have been found in a train in occupied France and purporting to show the existence of Allied plans to attack Russia, cited a sentence from a report by the French Ambassador to Turkey to his Government to the effect that “the attitude of the Turkish Government has advanced in so far as it envisages the possibility of offensive war against the Soviet,” The Anatolian Agency was in a position to state that the text of M Massigli’s original dispatch read: "The attitude‘of the Turkish Government has advanced in so far as it envisages the possibility of a defensive war against the Soviet.” The German News Agency, when its attention was called to this startling distortion, offered the lame explanation that it was due to an error in translation.
