Beattie has not returned from the St. Nazaire raid. LieutenantColonel A. C. Newman, who was commander of the military forces, also has not returned. The Berlin radio declared that the Germans took Lieut.-Commander Beattie prisoner. A German spokesman admitted that the dock gates at St. Nazaire were “slightly damaged, but were repaired within one day.
