FAKED BY GESTAPO
EAST PRUSSIAN “LIDICE” RUSSIANS~ACCUSED (10 a.m.) LONDON, Oct. 30. Evidence from East Prussia makes it aimost certain that the Gestapo deliberately made .the first German "Lidice” of .the village of Nemmersdorf on the Angerapp River, says tqe rimes correspondent in StocKholm. They burned all the dwellings and kilied all the inhabitants who had not obeyed orders to evacuate. me German propagauaa machine in the last few days has been charging the Russians with the outrage, hysterically asserting that Nemmersdorf is an example of the policy of extermination of German civilians that is being carried out by .the Russians in the east and the British and Americans in the west, but the story is not cohesive, and there are some serious mistakes. All the available evidence indicates that the Russians nave not yet reached Nemrnersaort or nave been less than five miles from the village.
