Folk Henreis, 23, a West German sailor, who shouted “Heil Hitler” and sang a Nazi marching song here last Friday, was fined 2,000 pounds ($666) by a magistrate’s court today. He pleaded guilty to charges of disturbing the peace. Three other West German seamen, who admitted joining with Henreis in his song, but who denied they also shouted “Heil Hitler,” were fined 200 pounds ($66) each.
