issued partly to show that "week
after week our convoys continue
to arrive bringing vital supplies
to our shores" and partly to
counter German claims that
nine ships aggregating 37,000
tons and an aircraft carrier had
been sunk in the attack which,
the admiralty said, lasted from
December 17 to December 21.
"It is known that at least
three of the attacking U-boats
were sunk, since prisoners of
war from these three U-boats
were taken," the admiralty said.
"Two of the German long-range
Focke-Wulf aircraft were shot
down into the sea and a third
was so severely damaged it may
not have regained its base."
The convoy was reported to
have consisted of more than 30
merchant ships led by Vice Ad
miral Raymond Fitzmaurlce, a
veteran as commodore of con
voys who was named a knight
of the British empire in King
George VI's New Year's honors
list.
"The attack on the convoy
developed December 17 and be
fore noon that day the 'first
U-boat was sunk," the admiralty
said. "The U-boat was sighted
on the surface and sunk by gun
fire from ships of the escort."
CROATIA. REPORT
NEW YORK, Jan. 3 (UP)
More than 180,000 persons have
been slaughtered in the nazi
puppet state of Croatia, part of
former Jugoslavia, the Jugoslav
legation in London has learned.
London radio said in a broad
cast heard by the United Press
listening post here.
An archbishop of the Ortho
dox Serbian church reported de
tails of the killings and torture
to the legation, according to the
broadcast which also said the
slaughter was ordered by the
"Quisling Pavelitch (Premier
Ante Pavelitch and his gangs."
In one village, the archbishop
claimed, 163 peasants were tor
tured, tied in groups and thrown
into a pit. Bombs were thrown '
to finish them off, and then J
gasoline poured over their
bodies and set afire. I
Among 100 killed in Salon-:
ika, many were said to have !
had their ears and noses cut j
off.
"One can see every day 30 to
40 corpses floating along the
river," the archbishop was quot
ed as saying in his report. "One
can often see members of a
whole family tied together. In
one place, four Serbs were cru
cified on the doors of their
homes."
The archbishop gave the
names of scores of victims and
said the details he had assem
bled were only a pale picture
of what really had happened.
Canadian radio, heard by the
United Press listening post In
New York, said a list of nazis
who killed Serbs would be kept,
and presented after the war to
an international court which
would try and sentence them.
(It quoted the British radio
as saying nazi firing squads had
shot two Belgians for sabo
tage.) Hitler Appeals for
