WAR PRISONERS' CAMPS
OVERRUN BY ALLIED ADVANCE British Official Wireless Rec. 1 p.m. RUGBY, April 10. As stated in a War Office announcement last week the sites of Ofiags 9AH and 9AZ have been overrun by our advancing forces. While official confirmation is not yet available the interrogation of individuals who have already reached Britain leaves little to doubt that the great majority of the prisoners of war from Ofiag 9AH have been recovered by Allied troops. Similar sources indicate, however, that the majority of prisoners from Oflag 9AZ are still in enemy custody, the rate of their compulsory evacuation to the east having hitherto prevented the American forces from overtaking them.
