SOME ESCAPES
FROM GERMAN LABOUR CAMPS CZECH & SLOVAK WORKERS Several instances of Czech and Slovak workers escaping from German labour camps have become known recently. Some of them clandestinely arrived home and others failed to return' to Germany from leave spent at home.' Some have even succeeded in escaping' abroad. A number of Czechs employed in Southern Austria have recently es-j caped to Slovenia where they joined the Yugoslav guerillas. One young man, from Moravia, who was put into the Todt Organisation with many fellow citizens in November, 1942, and has since been engaged in building fortifications on the French Atlantic coast, arrived in Switzerland at the end of April. He had escaped from the strongly guarded naval barracks in the French coastal town.
