DAZED GERMANS
LONDON, "Ju1y,.12. British an* Canadian troops advancing in the Caen area have seen for themselves the effect of the recent concentrated bombings on German troops. A senior officer who has returned to London, quoted by the aeronautical correspondent of "The Times," said'he found German officors and men sitting in the underground shelters "looking like dummies from Madame Tussaud's." He was unable to decide whether their semi-conscious condition was due from shock and concussion or blast from high-explosives. Th t ey kept staring with unseeing eyes.
Our troops found enemy formations split up, unable 'to regain contact' with their forward elements, and without food and ammunition: They had no' alternative but to.surrender.
