GERMANS’ LETTERS

Picture From Two Fronts (British Official Wireless and Press Assru>' Received October 15, 8 p.m.) LONDON, October 14. The depression among the Germans at, their failure to hold the Dnieper line is j typified in a German soldier’s letter 1 ;, home, which stated: “I, on the Dnieper,.* possess only what I wear. We have left J everything because the enemy is con-j stantly at our heels. IVe look like pigs. I I have no soap, no razor, and no towel.' Pray for me.”

_The Russians have captured the German district commissar for Melitopol, Herr Georg Heinisch. who lived in the town in great style for two years. He was responsible for deportations, and for ruthless brutality against th os/ evading deportation, and he admitted that 8000 young girls and boys had been “accepted” into Germany in the past two years. A letter which was found on a Ger-,' man paratroop corporal at Termoli, Italy,] from a relative stationed in northern' Italy, said: “We live on Italian pro-', duce. You had 'better not ask how we' get it. We keep the Italians’ kitchens' busy, and they serve us like princes. I think that is right; the Italian swine must be bled.”
