TELLING THEM THE TRUTH
(Rec. 10 p.m.) LONDON, June 6. On the Moscow sector of the Central Front the German 325th Regiment, was near - enough to the Russian lines to hear broadcast announcements. After the pews of the Cologne and Essen raids was received a German-speaking Russian announcer bellowed through the radio, “Men of the 325th Regiment, Cologne has ceased to exist. Over 1000 British bombers attacked it on May 31.” The announcer then read out details of the raid. The Germans interrupted with violent firing, but the announcer waited and then gave details of the Essen raid. The Russians learned that the announcement spread like wildfire along the 250-mile front.
