Even a blind man could see even at this point what the Nazis had in mind for The Netherlands.

As for the reported captured U-Boat, we all know that it is not the same boat (U-47) that sunk the Royal Oak, but I think this story is bogus all together. I went through the War Department conclusions for today which had both Chamberlain and Churchill in attendance and there is no mention of a captured sub at all. There is a lot of concern about the Deutchland’s whereabouts and extensive discussion about the magnetic mines (which that portion of the report unfortunately is almost unreadable).
