GERMAN PILOT TRIED FOR DESERTION, TREASON
Berlin: A young German transport pilot was tried today in Berlin for losing control of his cargo plane during the battle of North Afrika three months ago.
While flying supplies to the much-deprived troops at Malta, the young Lt. Adam Muse is alleged to have ditched his Ju-52 transport into the Mediterrainian Sea. Upon ditching, he exited his plane and engaged in lewd sexual acts while in his liferaft with his female co-pilot.
Lt. Muse denies all charges and claims that a hydaulic leak caused his controls to cease functioning, forcing him to ditch the aircraft. When asked about his lack of clothes upon rescue, his reponse was "they were torn off while escaping the sinking aircraft."
