American Returns With 80 Nazis Tells How Planes Killed Germans
A Pennsylvania private from the 2d armored division, Pvt. Anthony Blazus Jr. of Fredericktown, Pa., captured at St Denis Le Gast, described how U.S. air forces blasted a two mile German armored column. Fighters and fighter bombers dropped bombs on self propelled guns, wrecking the line and killing many. About 80 Germans surrendered to him after the attack, and he later reached American lines with the prisoners. Protests reach Australia over bookmakers supplied to homes while phones remain scarce.
