Internment - unlikely to be interned and, even if interned, almost certainly not for the duration.

It is stated that Gerald Holton escaped "having to report for incarceration for the duration, as was required for all male adult German refugees, by Prime Minister Churchill's directive." Perhaps that represents Gerald Holton's own perception of things, not corrected because he had already left for the US. This article 21:15, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
