GERMAN UNDERGROUND
SEETHES
According to uncensored dis
patches now reaching Washington,
active guerrilla warfare is flaring
up on a mounting scale behind the
German lines.
First real indication of an active
Fifth column in Germany came re
cently with accurate reports of
pitched battles inside Berlin, Bres-
IrfU and Bremen. This new guerrilla
warfare differs from that of parti
san units inside France. Yugoslavia
and Greece in that few of the guer
rilla troops are Germans. The bulk
are Frenchmen and Russians who
were captured earlier in the war
and have been used as slave labor
in the reich.
All of these workers were
carefully guarded by Himmler
until recently. Most lived in big
cities and worked in large In
dustrial plants. In Berlin for
example, hundreds of thousands
of slave laborers have been
housed in fenced off temporary
barracks in the heart of the city.
But recent powerful allied air
raids have created such chaos
that thousands of foreign work
ers escaped from their en
closures and have hidden in the
bomb ruins.
At night, the guerrillas prowl the
streets, capture Nazi sentries, steal
food and ammunition, commit ex
tensive sabotage. They have been
joined by some German army de
serters, afraid to return to the front,
advices say.
Once Berlin is taken it is expected
that the several million slave labor
ers will flare into such revolt that
Germany—except in the mountain
ous south—will cave like an egg
shell.
