The men were cross-examined, and the plans came to light. The plot collapsed entirely when 28 leaders were seized. =r Planned to Seize Guards

“We were able to follow their ‘every move,” Hoelzl said. “We learned almost as soon as the prisoners did of the plan to change their D-day from Christmas eve to Dec. 16.” The Nazis planned to liberate all Germans in prison camps within a 60-mile radius of Devizes. That would give the prisoner army: 75,~ 000 to 100,000 men.

’| Nazi Officer Tells

By WALTER CRONKITE United Press Staff Correspondent AMSTERDAM, May 11 (U. P.).— A German officer here said the) Nazis planned a mass break by | German prisoners in the British | isles and an airborne invasion of] Ireland to coincide with the Ar- | dennes offensive at the turn of the year. A German officer of the Rotterdam garrison.told me of the plan. He said it* was a sort of “suicide mission” intended primarily to di-| vert the allied effort while Marshal | Karl von Rundstedt drove for Ant- | werp. The officer said the Nazis hoped the break.and airborne landings might succeed so well-as to open a way for a seaborne or airborne invasion of Britain itself. As depicted by the German, the| Nazi plan “was a measure of desperation concocted to support . and | possibly capitalize eventually on| the results of Von Rundstedt's breakthrough into Belgium and | Luxembourg.

Thought Break Made

The officer said he was required | to furnish some troops for the | projected invasion of Ireland He] believed it was to be aimed at both | northern Ireland and Eire. He also was ordered, he said, to] stand ready to seize whatever shipping was available at Rotterdam | for “further operations.” * The officer stumbled into a dis- | closure of the plan when he asked me how. bad the German prison break last December was. I told him | “F never heard of it,” and he seemed | startled. “I did not expect you to hear 0: if from the BBC,” he said, “but 1 thought you newspaper people; would know.” He said the Irish -operation was | called off, and no summons was made for the shipping, but he thought the prisoner break was made. He professed to know no details of the planned break except that the Germans were to seize whateve transport and arms they could an harrass the countryside. Ft-appeared that German troops and Dutch civilians had been told | of the plan, perhaps in an 3 aemph, to boost morale.
