NAZI TACTICS
ATTEMPTS TO BLOCK POST-WAR RECONCILIATION RACIAL FEUDS FOMENTED IN EUROPE (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) LONDON, September 24. Aiming to make post-war reconciliation impossible, the Germans had stirred up Lithuanians to massacre Poles, and led Hungarians and Bulgarians against Serbs and Croats, says the diplomatic correspondent of - “The Times.” The Germans are using the Lithuanians as tools to exterminate the Poles in the Vilna province. They fix quotas for forced labour in Germany, and leave the selection to Lithuanians who naturally chose mostly Poles. When three German officials were ambushed and killed, German and Lithuanian troops made a joint punitive raid on a district in which 400 Poles were killed.
The Gestapo ordered the Lithuanian police to round up 10.00 Poles from a radius of 30 miles. Most of them were shot.
