Germans move troops from France to Italy and Russia
Fran ais Dementhon, newly named justice commissioner for the French Committee of National Liberation, says Berlin has shifted many frontline troops from France, Italy, and the Russian front. He describes a revamped German army and extensive Channel coast fortifications built by Todt. Dementhon outlines the unified French underground, its 16 member councils, and a militant base of about 150,000. He cites food limits, rising TB, and mass labor deportations, plus a purge drive against collaborators as essential to national unity.
