British Spy Tells Of Shooting of

Officers by Nazis

HAMBURG, Wednesday.  

Colonel Scotland, a British officer  

who spent a good part of the war serving in the German Army on be-

half of British Intelligence, said at the Stalag Luft trial that he had statements from the accused describ- ing how the Germans shot four offi- cers, including an Australian, Squad- ron-Leader Catanach, and a New   Zealander, Flight-Lieutenant Chris-  

tensen.  

The officers were chained and  

driven off in a motor car and shot in a lonely spot.

One of the Germans, Oskar Schmidt, said in his statement that he was threatened with death and dishonour for his family if he failed to carry out Berlin's order to kill

the officers.
