NAZIS DENOUNCED
BY FORMER COMMANDER OF CZECH FORCES NOT ONE PROMISE KEPT. LEGION TO BE FORMED. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. LONDON, May 29. A Warsaw message states that the former commander of the Czech forces, General Prchala, arrived there yesterday after an exciting car journey across the frontier. He said he intends to go to Paris to form a Czech legion to fight for the freedom of the Czechs. His wife preceded him by a few days. General Prchala said: “I cannot say how I got across the frontier, as the route must be left open for others who are forced to flee from the Gestapo. I am unable to stay longer in the homeland as my heart would have broken. The Germans have not kept one promise to preserve our culture.”
He added that, if Germany was involved in war, the Czechs, who were daily becoming more incensed over the German brutalities, would rise in revolt. Thousands of workers were ing press-ganged for work on German fortifications.
