German “Locusts” In Greece, Czechoslovakia
LONDON, February 20,
The Germans have arrested and deported hundreds from the Aegean Islands where Axis troops not regularly supplied have been' ordered to live off the land, despite widespread starvation of the population. The free Greek newspaper in London discloses that the Germans publicly tortured the Archimandrite of the Church of St. Nicholas' in Piraeus, after which they executed him. The Gestapo have instituted a new wave of terrorism against Czechs refusing to hand over harvests to the Germans. Seven farmer-millers in Central Bohemia were shot for grinding and selling their own grain. Three were shot at Prague for not delivering threequarters of their crops to the Germans.
