S.S. Men Making Last-Ditch Stand
(Rec. 11.10 a.m.) LONDON, May 6. Three hundred S.S. troops are established in a redoubt in the heavy woods north of Hamburg, where they are defying the British to “come and get them,” says the correspondent of the Associated Press at Hamburg. The German authorities have agreed to disarm them. If they fail the 2nd Army will take military action. The S.S. troops so far have not waged guerilla warfare against the British, but have made a number of raids against nearby German villages. Reuter’s correspondent with the British says that conferences between German and British staff officers are going „on almost continuously as detais of surrender are worked out. Guns have .stopped firing everywhere except where small detachments have lost radio contact and, have not received the news of capitulation.
