Berlin. Thursday. June 27. ?
The British navy attempted to
land troops at two points along
the German-held coast of France,
but* these attempts were 'com
pletely driven off and the entire
maneuver was "shamefully in
significant'", it was stated offici
ally earlf today.
Nasi quarters said that the Brit
ish attempt, far from obtaining
"useful information" as was
claimed in London, constituted a
belated British effort to convince
the French of formidable British
strength. -
They called the landing at
tempts "more Churchill hum
bug."
The official DXB agency said
that the British troops, aided by
warships and the British Air
Force, made their landing at
tempts on an exceedingly small 1
scale.
DNB said that "merely a few
BriUsli boats made a landing at- .
tempt on the smallest dimensions
at two points along the French
coast."
Both were "completely driven |
off," the news agency said. Only^
two Germans were wounded DNBl,

was obtaiued'," the DNB state-!,

The agency acknowledged that
