On like a scale ranging from 'laughs at his own dad jokes' to 'burning water whilst attempting to cook'?

It's for scientific research I swear.

“STUFFED DOLLS WERE NAZIS AT BOWMANVILLE ROLL CALL,” Toronto Star. April 18, 1942. Page 2. ---- Papier Mache Figures Fool Guards at Parades for 10 to 24 Hours --- ONE OF TWO SOUGHT ---- Two stuffed dummies with papier mache faces and lips painted red were paraded at roll call in the Nazi officers' internment camp at Bowmanville while Erie Boehle and Peter Krug made good their escape yesterday. This ruse, said to have been used by the Germans here on at least one other occasion, was successful due to painstaking work on the dummies. 

The faces were moulded from wet paper. From a distance they were indistinguishable from a Nazi officer. For from 10 to 24 hours. it is these took the places of the escapees. Supported in the roll-call line-up, others spoke for the absentees. How the pair escaped is a mystery. None of the wire entanglements was cut, it is said. 

Erich Boehle. 27-year-old Nazi flier, who was caught in Niagara Falls, N.Y, yesterday, was back behind barbed wire today while search continued for Peter Krug 21. another German airman, still at large. Absence of the two prisoners of war was reported Friday morning at at the Bowmanville officers' camp. although Boehle told Niagara Falls authorities he had escaped "several” days ago. 

After Boehle had been caught yesterday in Whirlpool Park, along the Niagara river, a Niagara Falls, Ont. woman excitedly telephoned police to tell them she believed she had unwittingly played hostess to the escaped prisoner Wednesday night.

She a man answering the German's description had come to her home asking for something to eat, stating he had been refused food at a neighboring house. The woman said she took him in and gave him bread and jam.

May Have Swum River Boehle's clothing-s gray suit resembling a uniform which roused the suspicions of police who picked him up was soaking wet when he was arrested. This led to belief that he may have crossed from Canada to the US by by swimming the lower Niagara river. An intensified search is being continued along the border on the possibility that Krug also may have crossed or be planning to cross the river to the U.S. 

Both prisoners were in a group of 200 brought from Britain last week. When he was arrested Boehle is said to have denied having any knowledge of Krug's whereabouts. Boehle told authorities he was shot down over England in September, 1940. and escaped once before into New Brunswick.

Boehle was picked up by scout car police who were suspicious of his clothing. He produced papers which he claimed identified him as a member of the Royal Norwegian Air Force. in training at Toronto. but the papers were found to be bogus. The prisoner then admitted his identity. 

Officers at RNA.F. headquarters here emphasized that the papers bore no resemblance to official R.N.A.F. papers. 

"The R.N.A.F.” would like to make this point clear," the statement said. “The papers papers found on Boehle were completely fraudulent and not even similar to our identification papers. so they could not have been copies. We wish to correct any impression that this German could have had access to Norwegian papers in the forging of the ones he carried."
