U-BOAT CAMPAIGN
GERMANS ADMIT DROP. IN SINKINGS OF ALLIED SHIPS. (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.40 a.m.) LONDON, June 24. New offensive methods would be introduced into Germany's submarine warfare, a Nazi naval spokesman told neutral correspondents in Berlin. New types of U-boats are being built, he said, “as the enemy is too familiar with the old type.” In an article surveying the Battle of the Atlantic, the “Yorkshire Post’s” naval correspondent says the Germans claim to have sunk only 43,000 tons of shipping last month. The figure of 43,000 tons is even more remarkable when compared with June, 1942, when the Germans claimed to have sunk 75,000 tons. It must be remembered that all these figures are German and computed specifically for general publication. Hitherto the Germans have always exaggerated and generally grossly so, but whether this policy of exaggeration is being changed or not, such a remarkable drop in the achievements of their U-boats will be a difficult matter for Goebbels to explain to his public.
