Under the Jackboots II

Thirty Polish Jews went AWOL in Britain two weeks ago to escape the "virulent antiSemitism" of the Polish Army.

Seeking transfer to British units as 200 others had successfully done last month, they were arrested, charged with desertion.

Uncomfortable Anthony Eden agreed to speak to the Poles again.
