bert islands, the documents say. The German cruiser was the Komet. - Her Soviet escorts were the Stalin, the Lenin and the Kaganovich, all icebreakers. The Kaganovich was named for Lazor Kaganovich, a member of the politburo. The report of the Komet's commander, identified as a Rear Adm. Eyssen, contains a graphic word picture of souring Soviet-Nazi relations under the Hitler-Stalin nonaggression pact signed with the invasion of Poland a year earlier. Sarcastically, Adm. Eyssen cefers o “the “still neutral, or .more correctly, neutrality-simulating, Soviet Union.”

Expected to Be Abandoned He was convinced the Russians planned secretly to desert him in the ice fields. Accordingly, he took Arctic sleds, Arctic tents, cooking equipment and skis, hoping to survive, He reported to Hitler months later that he succeeded despite—not because of—help he got from the Russians. Nonetheless, Adm. Eyssen's report reveals “neutral” Rusisan ice pilots guided the Komet through the ice from Matochkin Strait northeast of Murmansk to the Kara Sea.

Two years later, with Russia in war, Adm, Eyssen was able to conclude that the Soviets took his ship into the Pacific to sink British ship-| ping “to conceal the preparations for war which they had for a long time been forming in co-operation | with the British. " When the Kaganovich turned back "® on Sept. 1, 1940, Adm, Eyssen proceeded on his own. The Germans reached the Bering Sea, where, he said, “the Komet | (previously disguised as the steamship Donau) was changed into an auxiliary .cruiser and commenced her operations.” dat the end of 1941, the world heard that a German auxiliary cruiser had successfully shelled oil and phosphate storage depots on the island of Nauru (in the Southwest Pacific. Furthermore, this warship had sunk many enemy vessels in the Pacific, Indian Ocean, | South Pacific, off the Panama Canal | and the coast of Africa. “Everyone racked their brains to figure out by what route the German crusier. could have penetrated to the Pacific at all.” Adm. Eyssen boasted that the! Komet’s cruise around the world, “returning through "the English Channel, required 516 days, and involved 100,000 nautical miles.”
