The Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet today reports that all Jews ousted from the coastal areas in Holland where the Nazis are building fortifications to prevent an Allied invasion of the continent, will be transported to Nazi-held Eastern territories.
The paper predicts that Jews will soon be deported from the city of Utrecht and other cities in Northern and Southern Holland. It describes the nervousness with which the Nazis are clearing the coastal section of Holland of “unreliable elements” and reports that the Nazis suspect a possible Allied landing at Hook of Holland, the port which is only several hours from the English coast and which has never been bombed by English flyers.
