FRENCH NATIONALS EXECUTED
GERMAN COURT MARTI AT “FAVOURING THE ENEMY” London, April 16. Ten French nationals who escaped from a concentration camp near Marseilles were recaptured and executed after a German court martial, says the Zurich correspondent of the Daily Telegraph. Four other Frenchmen were sentenced to death in Brittany on a charge of cutting telephone wires. Another Frenchman was executed for “favouring the enemy.” A German court martial convicted him of having guided British and American airmen, who made forced landings in France, to the Spanish border, where a Spaniard met them and guided them into Spain. The Berlin radio announced that a Berlin Court for the first time sentenced a German national to three years’ imprisonment for failing to surrender leaflets dropped by British raiders.
