Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at on 9 September 1941.
Mr George Strauss
, Lambeth North
asked the Secretary of State for War whether he can now state why the book entitled ''I was a Nazi Flyer," written by a German prisoner of war interned in Canada, was published in America without reference to or authority by the War Office?
Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
