Thank you very much Wim, once again you've been very helpful. I think you're pretty close to spot-on with your translation. Sounds like typical Nazi propaganda. Would you mind telling me exactly which words/phrase refers to the "tube-load", I'd like to do some further research on it.

Thanks and CHIMO! Derek.
