BEHIND THE VEIL
CONDITIONS IN GERMANY
DISTURBANCES INDICATED
(Rec. 11.30 p.m.) LONDON, Dec. 13. Hundreds of German security police have been killed in disturbances inside Germany and occupied Europe, says the correspondent of the Daily Express on the Western Front. Black Guard casualties 'on the home front are as high as those suffered by the Black Guard on the battlefronts and in air raids combined. The Americans have captured copies of the fortnightly journel, Der Deutsche Polizei, each issue of which has a full page of obituary notices of Black Guard men. They are printed within a heavy black border under the heading "They Gave Their Lives for the Fuhrer and the Reich.”
These death lists, the correspondent says, seem to support reports from German prisoners that disturbances are going on inside Germany. Most of the deaths occurred in occupied areas behind the lines on the eastern front, but others occurred in Hamburg, Bremen, Cologne, and Berlin.
