GERMAN INTERNEES ELUDE GESTAPO
London, June 11. Fifteen internees who disappeared into thin air after being released from Miranda Delebro camp, near Saragossa are being hunted by the Gestapo through Spain, a Lisbon message says. They are believed to be a group of antiNazi Germans who escaped from their previous imprisonment in a French fortress near the Pyrenees and managed to cross the mountains. They lost their way and were picked up in the last stages of exhaustion and starvation and were interned in Spain. It is understood that the Nazis consider the men to be most dangerous witnesses against them, as some of the internees only recently escaped from Germany itself and have been sought by the Gestapo across Europe. The Germans openly attempted to obtain the help of the Spanish authorities to get the men handed over to them.
