LIDICE MASSACRE
FULL FACTS VERIFIED IN LONDON COLD-BLOODED & BESTIAL CRIME. GERMANS MURDER WHOLE POPULATION. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, June 4. Not one of the 485 inhabitants of Lidice, the Czechoslovak town the Germans destroyed on June 10 last, escaped. Reports reaching official circles in London say that on June 10, 1942, German bombers appeared over Lidice and dropped incendiary bombs. The village meanwhile had been surrounded by tanks, and when the inhabitants tried to run for their lives cut of their burning houses the Germans trained the machine-guns of their tanks on them and shot all, without exception. For a while there was a hope that two men had succeeded in escaping, but that later proved illusory.
