GERMAN SPECIALISTS
TRAINING FOR INVASION ALONG CONTINENTAL COAST (United Pres-s Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received Sept. 27, 3.15 p.m.) BERLIN, Sept. 26 An officially-inspired description of the army training for the invasion of Britain claims that hundreds of specialists are distributed among the units along the continental coast. They were trained on drill grounds north-westward of Berlin immediately after the French capitulation and were selected from all branches of the services on the basis of a questionaire in which 63 questions covered athletic prowess, knowledge of languages, technical skill, and acquaintance with British geography and affairs. •
Unmarried men under 23 years of age were preferred.
