10000 Nazis Taken
Near Bordeaux; Two
Officers Free Hendaye
~ the Associated Press,

IRUN, Spain, Aug. 26.-Ten thou
sand Germans encircled by Ameri-
can and French forces around Belin,
80 miles South Of Bordeaux sur
rendered late this afternoon, French
authorities in Hendaye said tonight.
The capitulation Of the Nazis
ended all organized German resist
ance in Southwestern France.
American and French forces which
had trapped the Germans had been
hacking them to pieces when the
Germans hoisted white nag.
According to reports from Hen
daye, across the frontier from Irun,
the Germans evacuated Bordeaux
Thursday and moved into the
wooded Landes region, centering in
Belin.
(Communiques of Supreme Al
lied Headquarters and the Med
iterranean command have not
touched upon the reported opera
tions. along Frances Bay of Bis
cay coast)
Waited Vainly for Aid.
French authorities in Hendaye
had said the remaining German
forces were too weak to try to break
out and apparently were content to
sit and hope vainly that a German
army from outside might free them
Other Germans in small groups
high in the Pyrenees were reported
waiting for the Allies to come and
take them prisoners rather than risk
death by travelling through patriot
held territory in an effort to get
back to Germany. French control
of the border prevented them from
escaping into Spain.
The territory once held by eight
German divisions, filled with
swarms of German agents and DO
iced by thousands of Vichy gunmen
now is tranquil under the tricolor.
This has been accomplished in
less than week. On Monday two
: uniformed French officers crossed
the International bridge at Irun to
Hendaye. One was French Jewell
r er at San Sebastian who had busted
off his World War uniform the day
before and the other was a young
captain from Algiers.
Tonight these two men as rep
resentatives of 1t. Gen. Joseph
Pierre Koenig commanded a force
estimated at $4,000 men which held
at least 10000 German prisoners
and maintained order in 10 French
departments where millions live.
Actually the two officers had little
to do with their amazing exploit.
The two truckloads of Germans
armed with submachine guns were
not afraid of the captain when
they surrendered to him the hour
he crossed the frontier. The whole
company of Germans was not
afraid of the San Sebastian jeweler
when they walked toward him with
the white flag of surrender on the
outskirts OF st. Jean de Luz.
Feared French People.
The Germans feared the French
people. 1t was the French peoples
hatred Of Germans which made it
possible for the two officers to find
themselves Immediately in command
OF an underground army tried
through four years of German oc-
cupation.
At the time the two officers took
over Hendaye Monday three Allied
.warships lobbed a few shells into
st. Jean de Luz and, later in the
week, said reports reaching Irun,
Allied forces landed at Arcachon
and Verdon, north and southwest
of Bordeaux.
