NAZI PRETENCE
AIR LINER CALLED TRANSPORT PLANE. EVIDENCE OF DELIBERATE OUTRAGE. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, June 4. The British Embassy and the Dutch Legation in Lisbon issued a communique stating that the British Overseas Airways plane, missing between Lisbon and the United Kingdom, was shot down by Germans while it was flying unarmed,” unescorted and clearly displaying commercial signs, says an agency message. This denies the claim made in a German communique that the Luftwaffe shot down two British bombers and one “transport plane,” thus pretending it was a military operation. Portuguese people, the message adds, strongly condemn the attack by the Luftwaffe against a civil plane.
