Agence Radio (French news agency) reported today the existence in Berlin of a special department which conducts espionage activities in neutral countries through anti-Semites.
Contact with the anti-Semites is made through apparently innocuous letters which seek information on the activities of local Jews. Eventually, the anti-Semites are invited to visit the Reich where, upon their arrival, they are given a warm reception.
Many of those who visit Germany in this manner, the agency said, return to their countries with instructions not only on how to improve their anti-Jewish propaganda but also for general espionage activities.
