Captured German General reads American book en route to U.S. port. Major General Ulrich Kessler, German Air Force Officer, reads a book written by an American as he sits in the galley of a U.S. Coast Guard ship after being removed from a German submarine which surrendered in the North Atlantic May 13. The u-boat gave up five days after Germany surrendered unconditionally to the Allies. The 1600-ton enemy vessel, bearing several other Germain AIr Force Officers as well as General Kessler and its crew, was intercepted by American surface vessels and then escorted to Portsmouth, a port on the northeast caost of the U.S. The vessel was reported to have been en route to Japan. The bodies of two Japanese, who had committed suicide aboard the submarine, had been buried at sea.
