BATTLE FOR WARSAW
COMMANDO LEADERS SHOT (Received Sept. 22, 11.30 a.m.) " LONDON. Sept. 21 The German news agency says that a large formation of British and American bombers in daylight dropped a number of Polish commando leaders by parachute on Warsaw. The agency claimed that all the commandos were shot in the air. Polish official circles in London denied knowledge of any Polish commando paratroopers being dropped in Warsaw. The German report is believed to be intended to belittle the success of a Flying Fortress expedition recently, when arms and ammunition were successfully parachuted to the Polish Forces in Warsaw.
General Bor’s communique reports that there is no change in the general situation in Warsaw. GermanSoviet artillery duels continue. Russian aircraft are active and there is no sign of enemy dive-bombers over the capital.
