BATTLE IN POLAND
MEN RESIST FORCED LABOUR ROUND-UP. GERMANS MURDER MANY NON-COMBATANTS . (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) LONDON, March 27. Two thousand German troops and S.S. men battled for 10 days in the Krasnobrod district with Poles, who resisted the round-up of men for deportation for forced labour in Germany. The Polish Telegraph Agency says that 50 Germans were killed and others wounded. The Germans used 'planes, tanks, artillery and machine guns. The Poles’ losses in the fighting were fewer than the Germans, but hundreds of Poles who did not participate in the resistance were killed in reprisals. In the village of Luszczacz alone, 60 people were murdered, and all inhabitants including women and children, of several villages in the Hamernia district, were wiped out, and the villages burnt down.
