TREATMENT OF RUSSIAN PRISONERS IN NAZI PRISON CAMPS. SOVIET THREATENS VENGEANCE WITHOUT MERCY. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright! " LONDON. September 19. Brutal treatment of Russian prisoners of war in Germany is rejiorletl by the Turin newspaper “Stampa.” A special correspondent of the paper who has just toured German prison camps where Russian soldiers are interned makes no effort to conceal Ids horror at what he saw.
“Nowhere in the world can there exist such distress, illness and unhappiness as in these camps.” he says. “Of 30,000 Russian prisoners in the Neudek zone half are stricken with typhus. The victims arc segregated in special barracks and guarded by German troops, who fire on any prisoner who approaches them.” In a radio warning not to continue ill-treating Russian prisoners, a Red army spokesman said: “For every Red soldier who is thus killed we will kill 10 Germans. Neutral observers in Germany confirm this crime. Russian soldiers are dying from starvation and lack of medical attention. They shall be avenged without mercy.”
