DEAD NAZIS
Prominent Casualties Show War’s Toll
LONDON, July 28.
Pages of death notices' in the German. papers which are reaching Turkey confirm Ithe reports that Germany is paying a terrible price on the Russian front.
Mr. G. E. R. Gedye, in a message to the “Daily Express” from Istanbul, says that the casualty lists are not published in Germany, but that Hitler has found himself obliged to provide an. outlet for popular anguish by allowing relatives and’ friends of prominent members of the Nazi Barty to publish at their own expense notices of deaths in action.
Every day whole pages now record the deaths of important Nazi Party members. Those mourned include Hans Dietel, commandant of the crack Gestapo college for training “supermen”; Rudi Kranz, Germany’s ski champion; Rudolf Amann, soq, of the Nazi Press chief; and Otto Schramm, one of Herr Hitler’s cronies since the birth of the Nazi Party.
Moscow radio announced that a strike occurred at the naval shipyards at Hamburg as a protest by the workers against the non-publication of casualty lists from the Russian front. The workers' demand for casualty lists was granted first of all, but patent inaccuracies in them so incensed the workers that the strike was continued.
