No Place for Teetotalers As Freed Men Celebrate
About 10 000 U S airmen freed from Stalag Luft I in Pomerania celebrate with Russian allies in riotous scenes. Lt Nick Karmytoff from Tula leads a drunken greeting, bottles opened, Hitler’s picture smashed, and a joint sendoff to Germany’s defeat as BBC reports Hitler dead. The camp’s Red Army liaison joins the revelry and the mood turns to relief and exhaustion.
