POW diaries - Captain Percival Lowe, item 58

X It was in this Camp that I first made the acquaintance
of a scurulous paper called "the Continental Times." Printed
it was said for Americans on the Continent. It was by far the
most anti English paper printed in Germany. The Germans at
all the camps tried to persuade the English to take in copies.
But no one was paying for it. Often however we obtained a
free copy. In some way it was as good as Punch. The
German has no sense of humour.
X The method was thus obvious.
