The Germans recently sent a detachment of storm troops to the Cossack village of Plastunovskaya to punish residents who refused to report for compulsory labour. During the night the storm troopers built a gallows in the village for a public hanging the next morning. When dawn came, three German officers, including the commander of the punitive detachment, were found swinging oh the gallows. They had been hanged by guerillas who had attacked during the night and wiped out all the Germans. —“Soviet War ftews.”
