RESIGNED TO DEFEAT
GERMAN PRISONERS 1 REACTIONS ITALIAN HATRED OF NAZIS (Rec. 8 a.m.) LONDON, Jan. 25. Renter's correspondent with the Fifth Army says that many of the latest batches of prisoners captured in Italy knew before they were taken that the Allies had landed near Rome. They considered this meant that it was all over for the Germans in South Italy. More and more prisoners are showirfg signs of pleasure at being out of the war. Many conscripted Poles asked as soon as' they reached the prisoners' cages to be given British uniforms and arms with which, to fight against their former masters in Italy. Civilians frequently hiss and spit at prisoners as they are being marched to confinement, nnd some Italian women even asked British guards for permission to enter tho cages and out the prisoners' throats.
