Germany Paying a Terrible Price

CASUALTY LISTS FROM EAST FRONT LONDON, July 28. Pages of death notices in German , P a Pers reaching Turkey confirm reports I that Germany is paying a terrible price | on the Russian front. I G. E. R. Gedye, in a message to the Daily Express from Istanbul, says that casualty lists are not published in | Germany but that Hitler found himself .obliged to provide an outlet for the popular anguish by allowing relatives jand friends of prominent party members to publish, at their own expense, notices of death in action. Every day, whole pages now record the deaths of important members of the Nazi Party. Those mourned include Hans Dietel, commandant of the crack Gestapo college for the training of “super men”; Rudi Kranz, the German ski champion; Rudolf Amann, son of the Nazi Press chief; and Otto Schramm, one, of Hitler’s cronies since the birth of the Nazi Party. Thp Moscow radio announced to-day that a strike had occurred in 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 at first granted, the radio adds, but the patent inaccuracies in the lists so incensed them that the strike continued.
