KILLED BY GREEK PATRIOTS
GERMAN PARACHUTISTS IN CRETE (Rec. 10.45 a.m.) Rugby, Sept. 1. How Greek patriots in Crete recently killed German parachutists descending during manoeuvres is told by the crew of a Greek ship which arrived in Egypt. Patriots, who were waiting in ambush, took the German parachutists one by one and after killing many of them took their guns and ammunition and fired on the rest coming down from the sky. Several patriots were killed. The German authorities took severe measures and executed a great number of patriots who took part in the attack and held others as hostages.—B.O.W.
