TORTURED BY GERMANS
AMERICAN PARATROOPS LONDON, June 13. There is indisputable evidence that the Germans tortured and murdered American paratrbops in the early Normandy landings, says the National Broadcasting Corporation’s reporter, Stanley Richardson, who has just returned to London, from the headquarters of the American airborne troops near Carentan. He said the bodies of three Americans stripped to the waist, with their hands bound, were found near a former German command post. A lieutenant with his throat cut was hanging helpless from the tree in which his parachute had landed. A* major was found dead in a village. He had been stabbed many times.
