Order affirmed.
Bauer v. Clark, 161 F.2d 397.
Section 903 of Title 8 U.S.C.A.
“1 don’t think it was possible for a man to enter the intelligence unit of the German army without taking an oath of allegiance to the Hitler government. This man entered a branch of the service confidential in the extreme, dealing with the most confidential matters that the German Army was concerned with, the intelligence' unit, and, eventually, the counter-intelligence unit, and to think in face of the regulation that requires an oath, to think that in face of the practice of the German army requiring inductees to take an oath, to think in the face of those facts that he was received into such a confidential service without an oath is preposterous. Thereby he lost his citizenship. Then by a second step he lost it. That was when he took an oath of allegiance to a foreign state.
