Most of the tenants knew nothing
OF their landlords departure until
they returned home for their eve

cupboard bare. Several tenants said
they had paid their board and room
rent for week or two in advance
and that they believed other tenants
had done the same.

the flag attracted immediate at

Gen. Patton was described off,

Since the Greek and Yugoslav
