As soon as British troops had taken possession of Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, which is a Danish possession and has been placed under British protection, their first task was to arrest Dr. Gerlach, the German Consul-General in Reykjavik. His house was surrounded by marines, and he and his family were taken on board a British warship. Before Dr. Gerlach came to Iceland he was a professor in Basle, Switzerland, and was asked to leave that country on account of his propaganda activities. Dr. Gerlach is seen entering a car after his arrest.
