HC Deb 19 November 1956 vol 560 c49W
58. Mr. Warbey

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what information is now available regarding the activities in Egypt of German army officers, advisers, instructors, and technicians.

Mr. Dodds-Parker

For several years there have been some German military and other advisers in Egypt. These men are free lances, who have no connection with the German Government. They have been mainly concerned with the technical training of the Egyptian armed forces.

There is no reason to doubt that in the Egyptian Propaganda Ministry there is a former employee of Dr. Goebbels, a Professor von Leers.
