NAZI SAVAGERY

DENOUNCED IN INDIA COMMENT ON THE DOMALA OUTRAGE. GERMANY OUTSIDE THE PALE. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. LONDON. March 8. The bombing of the British Indian liner Domain with more than 100 casualties has created in India the greatest, indignation, and horror and hatred against Germany particularly in the Punjab and the North-West Frontier Provinces. Strong resentment was expressed in the Indian Press yesterday. The Bombay "Chronicle” writes: "The Nazis have gone mad. They have lost all sense of reason and all instincts of humanity.” “Th’e brutality of the Nazi airmen,” it continues, “is accentuated by the fact that the Indian victims are those whom the Germans had held as prisoners since the outbreak of the war. though _it was decided to repatriate them later. They were innocent. Not even Hitler’s unilaterally made international law can possibly justify this revolting inhumanity perpetrated upon them.”

The newspaper "Indian Nation” says: “The tale of brutal inhumanity revealed by the survivors and the circumstances in which the attack was made lend it the colour of being premeditated. It is one of a series of Nazi acts of barbarous warfare at sea and in the air which puts the Nazi regime in Germany completely outside the pale of civilised Governments.”
