A worldwide commando unit to take reprisal action “against alleged informers for the trial of Eichmann, “is being organized among neo-Nazi groups, it was reported in the press here today.
The Home Office today ordered a countrywide watch over certain members of the newly organized British National Party, after undercover agents of the British Government, who attended inner council meetings of neo-Nazis in houses here, reported that delegates from Austrian, German and Swedish Nazi parties sought recruits for the reprisal unit from among British groups.
The agents reported that those attending the clandestine meetings were brown shirts, black ties, arm bands and German-type caps. A special branch of Scotland Yard has been assigned the task of watching developments in the matter while secret diplomatic moves to warn German, Austrian and Israeli authorities, are expected to be made this week.
Meanwhile, race hate pamphlets entitled “The Eichmann Trial, What About Jewish Atrocities?” were distributed this weekend in 36 British cities.
