POLES AND GREEKS

GUERRILLA CAMPAIGNS RUGBY, May 29. News has reached London of the high degree of organisation which the guerrillas in Poland and Greece have attained. The main Polish executive organs are the Directorate of Civilian Resistance in London, and the headquarters of the underground forces which receive instructions

from an anonymous commander in close contact with General Sikorski. Death sentences passed on more notoriously cruel Germans are soon carried out. ( A secret wireless station swit (“Dawn”) announced nine days ago that an underground force unit held up a train on the Warsaw-Lublin line and released 45 political prisoners bound for a concentration camp at Majoanek, killed four Gestapo men, and wounded more- than 15, losing two of its own men. Swit reports that five Poles were sentenced to death at Danzig two weeks ago for helping a Briitsh prisoner of war to escape, but the prisoner is still at liberty . In Greece various guerrilla bands have formed a federation called the National Bands of Greece. They have divided the country into military areas, with commanders and arrangements for communication. mutual help and the supply of food and war materials to the bands in the moun- • tains.
