Show European Beauties Spy Out Military Secrets London. Beautiful, alluring, modern mod-ern Mata Haris today are being used to an almost unprecedented scale to obtain the military secrets of Europe's armed powers. Never before in the peacetime history his-tory of Europe have so many beautiful beau-tiful young women been known to be engaged in espionage. German, French, Swiss, Polish, Italian and Russian girls are known to be operating. The identity of some of these women is known to the British intelligence in-telligence service; others are under un-der suspicion, but most of them are merely known to exist, their identities identi-ties remaining a mystery. A case in point is Countess Wie-lepolska, Wie-lepolska, beautiful Polish woman who now languishes in Moabit prison, pris-on, Berlin, awaiting trial on charges of espionage against Germany. Although the penalty for spying against Nazi Germany is death it is believed that the Polish countess will be exchanged for a valuable German agent now behind the bars in Warsaw. Countess Wielopolska was arrested arrest-ed by the German secret police aboard the Warsaw-Berlin-Paris express ex-press just 15 minutes after the train pulled out of the Berlin station. In a French military prison, attractive at-tractive twenty-nine-year-old Elsa Turch, a German girl, is serving two years for attempting to induce French men and women to act as espionage agents. Before being caught and convicted, convict-ed, she was a familiar figure at Ystres, one of France's most important im-portant military aviation centers. |
