Allied hands has been discovered
here as advancing troops continued
to round up scores OF prisoners.
Under merciless sun, Italian SOL

were rounded up. Some of these
hspless, ragged soldiers fired a few
shots and then gave up.
One italian with five bullet holes
in his back was found. He said a
German officer shot him down
when he tried to surrender.
This dying man declared the
Germans had stolen food and left
the area before the Allied units
came. The only ones left, he said
were few officers bossing Italian
units and some gun crews at stra-
tegic points.
Later several score Italians were
found shot in the back by the Ger
mans.
Delayed dispatches from a western
task force said that the Germans
are apparently bombing civilians
deliberately, and German artillery
has been shelling groups of Italian
prisoners whenever they surrendered
