The secret history of the war is being disclosed bit
by bit. Th story can be told now, —it is, I believe, to be at least touched o c in a semi-public document—of how the Cambridge Union wa suddenly commandeered for a week in the early part of last yeas cleared of everyone connected with it except the Chief Clerk, wh i ti was left in his office but allowed no communication with the rest o the building, while van-loads of models were brought in under cove of darkness and set up in the debating-hall which has rung with the accents of the great for a century, with sentries with Bren guns keeping guard at the outer doors. Over the models pored Eisenhowe and Montgomery and other authorities only less distinguished. Cambridge, therefore, which has from the first been in the forefron over the atomic bomb, and—though much less is known of that over the vitally important dehydration process, may claim to hay
played a part of some significance in the preparations for D-day. * * * *
