Feb. 02, 1955 - Colonel Scotland Says He Will Rewrite His Counter-Espionage Book In Spite Of War Office Ban: Colonel Alexander Scotland said last night that he will go ahead with his book on 50 years in counter-espionage and military intelligence in spite of a War office ban. Last week Colonel Scotland's Baker Street flat was raided by special branch detectives and armed with a search warrant they took away an armful of papers and notes on his 95, 000 word book The London Cage'. In 1951 Colonel Scotland interrogated Field Marshal Kesselring and decided that he should not have been convicted as a War Criminal. He wrote The Kesselring Case - The War office banned it. Colonel Scotland then sent a copy to the German Government with the advice Use this to force the British hands'. A few weeks later Kesselring was freed - and Colonel Scotland is convinced that he is the man who freed him. Photo Shows: Colonel Alexander Scotland with his German Wolfhound
