Reds Accused of Using Women Slaves in Mining
Frankfort Germany dispatch reports Emil Walter a former Halle police officer describes 120000 forced workers in uranium mines near the Bavarian Czech border with at least 30000 women. He says October explosions killed 200 of 800 underground workers at Johann Georgenstadt and replacement by new arrivals from transports continues.
