German Civilians Holed in Mushroom Cave on Western Front
On the Saar river’s western bank a cave housing 1,700 German civilians was found after a stealth move by the 6th division. Families occupy 30 to 40 feet each, with cows and livestock nearby, as Nazis led by Papen sought to seal the cave with dynamite. Volksstrum orders to evacuate failed. US forces swept the area and the group retained permission to stay. Meanwhile a separate report notes a $15 fine for Kenneth White after a Broad street collision, and that London vacations show a rise in August peak weeks.
