ENSLAVED !
MILLIONS IN EUROPE. “Estimates credit Germany with having 10,000,000 men under arms. If the Reich is able to draft this enormous force from its working population, it is by literal enslavement of other millions of people in the conquered lands. A report smuggled out of Poland tells of the working out of this process for the operation of German fields and factories. Having failed to obtain enough voluntary workers for transfer to Germany, the Gestapo has now organised man-hunts in Polish cities and villages on a contantly widening scale. Army trucks ..re assembled at convenient points. The German police then range the streets/ rounding up all able-bodied males. No one is exempt from seizure. Even men lawfully employed in industry are gathered in. Their identification cards are torn up and they are shipped away. Of the deported, those brought back are broken in health by hard labour and scant rations..”—New York “Times.”
