Czechs purge of Allied service members shocks refugees
In Wiesbaden a former Czech Air Force officer said all Czechs who served with Western Allies during the war have been purged. Civilians who fought with the Allies are also being dismissed from jobs. He landed at Rhein Main in a stolen plane with three companions and declined to name them. He claimed to have flown with the RAF, then Czech Air Force, then the Czech mission in Frankfurt. The group warned that removal from work could force escape or coal pit labor, with concentration camp fear cited as inevitable.
