BRITISH PRISONERS
MANY SENT FROM ITALY TO GERMANY ACCORDING TO ENEMY NEWS AGENCY. PURSUIT OF LIBERATED MEN. LONDON, September 25. The German news agency states that British prisoners of war are being continuously transferred from Italy to Germany. So far, about 30,000 have been transferred and a further 15,000 to 20,000 are waiting under German guard for transfer. Several thousand British prisoners who were liberated by Marshal Badoglic’s forces are being pursued by Germon mobile troops. These prisoners, with Badoglio’s followers, from whom they have received some arms, apparently intend to fight their way to the Allied-occupied territory, the agency says.
