DISTORTION OF FACTS TRUTH DANGEROUS ENEMY REALISATION BY HITLER (Omcial Wireless) (Received Aug. 12, 11 a.m.) RUGBY, Aug. 11 The Sunday Observer comments editorially on the German accounts of last Thursday’s air battles over the Channel convoy and of shipping losses in which distortion of the truth has reached quite a ludicrous pitch. It writes: “ To put the best face on a reverse may be a temptation to the most unscrupulous belligerent. But for turning it into a victory there must be urgent reasons. The Germans who sank 5000 tons of shipping in the Channel fight call it 67,000 tons in their bulletins, and reduce their loss of 60 planes to ten, and increase the 16 British casualties to 49. “ Hitler appears to appreciate that truth is his most dangerous enemy.”
